Environmental Law from the Policy Perspective

Understanding How Legal Frameworks Influence Environmental Problem Solving

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Government at the federal, state, and local levels is currently moving holistically in a direction where officials are taking on a more direct (regulatory) role in environmental issues. Responding to this trend, this text presents an overview of the environment focused on practical regulation and management, who the players are, and how the law factors in. It details types of law (common, statutory, regulatory) and frameworks (legislative, executive, and judicial) relevant to environmental issues. The book concludes with coverage of policies and acts by application type (pollution, land use, waste, energy).
