Environmental Policy by Norman J Vig

Environmental Policy by Norman J Vig

Authoritative and trusted, Environmental Policy convenes top scholars to evaluate the impact of past environmental policy while anticipating its future implications, helping students decipher the underlying trends, institutional constraints, and policy dilemmas that shape environmental politics. The Ninth Edition offers coverage of the latest issues, including the energy and natural resource policy dilemmas, sustainable cities, and the environmental impact of food production and consumption.  A new concluding chapter ties the contributing chapters together with an assessment of the remaining environmental policy challenges for the 21st century.

"I really enjoy using this bookThe strengths are that it covers a wide variety of environmental policy issues, incorporating examples accessible to the students and theory from the academic literature. My students have only positive things to say about it."

-- Rebecca Bromley-Trujillo

-- Jeff W. Justice
