Environmental Policy 
New Directions for the Twenty-First Century

As environmental issues continue to become more prevalent in society and surrounding policy challenges become more complex,  
Environmental Policy once again brings together top scholars to evaluate the changes and continuities in American environmental policy since the late 1960s and their implications for current policy. Students will learn to decipher the underlying trends, institutional constraints, and policy dilemmas that shape today’s environmental politics as they evaluate approaches to future challenges.
