Environmental Policy brings together top scholars to evaluate
the changes and continuities in American environmental
policy since the late 1960s and help students think
critically about their implications for current policy.Â
With the right information, we can develop public policies that
work better. All too often, public policy textbooks offer a basic
grounding in the policy process without the benefit of integrating
the use of policy analysis. Michael E. Kraft and Scott R. Furlong
take a different tack. Public Policy: Politics, Analysis, and
Alternatives, Seventh Edition helps students understand how and why
policy analysis is used to assess policy alternatives. The text
encourages them to not only question the assumptions of policy
analyst, but also recognize how these strategies are used in the
support of political arguments. The authors introduce and fully
integrate an evaluative approach to policy to encourage critical
and creative thinking on issues ranging from health care to climate
change. From a concise review of institutions, policy actors, and
major theoretical models to a discussion of the nature of policy
analysis and its practice, Kraft and Furlong show students how to
employ evaluative criteria in six substantive policy areas.
Students come away with the analytic tools they need to understand
that the motivations of policy actors--both within and outside of
government--influence a complex yet comprehensible policy agenda.
Authoritative and trusted, Environmental Policy once again brings
together top scholars to evaluate the changes and continuities in
American environmental policy since the late 1960s and their
implications for the twenty-first century. Students will learn to
decipher the underlying trends, institutional constraints, and
policy dilemmas that shape today's environmental politics. The
Eleventh Edition examines how policy has changed within federal
institutions and state and local governments, as well as how
environmental governance affects private sector policies and
practices. There are five new chapters in this edition that examine
the public's opinion on the environment, courts, energy policy,
natural resource agencies and policies, and the political economy
of green growth. The book has been updated to reflect the Trump
administration's four years of policy changes and students will
walk away with a measured, yet hopeful evaluation of the future
challenges that policymakers will confront as the American
environmental movement continues to affect the political process.
The author introduces a revolutionary concept of the Kingdom of
God which is intended to initiate a conversation among committed
followers of Jesus Christ. Followers who are convinced there is
something more than the placebo, which promises "pie in the sky in
the great by-and-by.
