Description
Book SynopsisAn essential introduction for all those interested in how policies can address environmental problems, bringing together economic, sociological and social policy perspectives.
Trade Review"As the social consequences of climate change begin to bite, this book provides an informative, broad sweep look at environmental policy over the past half century, highlighting both the scale of environmental challenges we face and their wider effects on people, and laying down a gauntlet for us all to respond." Katharine Knox, Policy and Research Programme Manager, Joseph Rowntree Foundation
“The book succeeds in providing a compact introduction to both environmental problems and policies and fulfils a real need for undergraduate students who come to modules on environmental politics and policymaking from a variety of academic backgrounds. “ Dr Michael Cahill, University of Brighton
“Few books constitute both an introductory text and something that makes a genuine contribution to debate and research. Thankfully, The Short Guide to Environmental Policy is one of the rare exceptions.” Tony Fitzpatrick, University of Nottingham
