Environmental Policy in the 1990s

This thought-provoking collection of essays puts 25 years of environmental policy development in context by examining the current institutional framework for making policy and how it has emerged, the role of environmentalism and public opinion in shaping policy, the search for more efficient policy solutions, and the impact of global environmental imperatives.

This edition covers the new, heightened role of the states in making policy, environmental justice, and the greening of U.S. businesses, among other topics. The book also provides an in-depth analysis of the 104th Congress on environmental policies, and reviews the Clinton administration's environmental record and efforts to reform the Environmental Protection Agency.
