Environmental Politics

Interest Groups, the Media, and the Making of Policy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Providing an in-depth analysis of the major stakeholders in environmental policy, this innovative book reviews the political battles over the environment from ground level - as they are fought in legislative chambers, the daily newspaper, on television, and, increasingly, on the Internet. The text views politics as a clash of interests, not ideologies, and environmental policy as a process accommodating those interests. By examining these issues through an interest group lens Environmental Politics: Interest Groups, the Media, and the Making of Policy not only accounts for what policies have been adopted but shows how readers can influence policy and effect change.

Rezensionen

"The overall approach, quality, and effectiveness of this text are excellent. Miller writes from a 'behind the scenes' perspective, which students will appreciate, and he is well attuned to what is accessible and understandable to undergraduates."

--Robert V. Bartlett, University of Vermont

"Miller's new edition of Environmental Politics offers a timely and fresh look at the making of environmental policy in the United States. All the basics are here-key stakeholders and agencies, detailed case studies, and descriptions of the pressures on the EPA, news media, scientists, and policy-makers. The second edition also brings new strengths: thoughtful dissection of ground-breaking federal court decisions on global warming, the 'greening' of businesses, and the controversy over government attempts to influence the work of climate scientists."

--Dr. Robert Cox, Professor of Communication Studies and the Ecology Curriculum, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
