"Environmental Governance offers an original and important contribution to understanding the current situation of the environment, highlighting that neither technology, nor scientific discovery are sufficient to address contemporary issuesRather the book offers insights into how humans manage environmental questions today: governance. It explains the growth of governance strategies and arrangements over time and the shift away from largely governmental approaches. The book is a valuable teaching resource, demystifying what seem irrational and obscure processes that often appear insuperable."
Professor Stephanie Pincetl, Director California Center for Sustainable Communities, UCLA, USA.
"This text is the perfect guide to the key issues, theories and debates in environmental governance. Comprehensive in scope, sophisticated in analysis and accessible in delivery, it offers a trusted roadmap through which to navigate the ever-growing thicket of this exciting and important field. If a user-friendly manual was indispensable when the book was first published, this expertly updated second edition has become even more necessary given the significant developments of the last decade."
