Synopsis

Commended for its behavioral and institutional approach, abundance of case studies, and pedagogy, this new text offers a unique examination of the politics and political actors behind environmental policy-making.

In order to effect change in environmental policy, it is necessary to understand the politics of environmental decision-making and how political actors operate within political institutions. American Politics and the Environment is the only text available that emphasizes these critical factors. In addition to offering a unique behavioral and institutional approach, this new text provides students with a consistent theoretical framework they can use from chapter to chapter to help them better grasp the material. Three boxed features in each chapter―one highlighting a person, one presenting a case study, and another investigating the issue of air pollution―offer real world examples and illustrations and provide the opportunity for student analysis. The authors end the text with a series of propositions about the future of environmental policy and politics that serve both as summary and basis for future research.
