Description

Comparative Environmental Politics Theory, Practice, and Prospects by Paul F. Steinberg and Stacy D. Vandeveer provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how different societies respond to environmental problems across nations and political systems. By combining theoretical tools from comparative politics with the substantive concerns of environmental policy, this book offers fresh insights into environmental issues such as climate change, water scarcity, and tropical forest disappearance. The authors examine responses to environmental problems through systematic cross-national comparisons of political institutions, regulatory styles, and state-society relations. This framework is applied to real-world problems, including the greening of the state, social movements, European Union expansion, corporate social responsibility, federalism, and policymaking under democratic and authoritarian regimes. This book will help scholars and policymakers understand how environmental issues and politics are connected around the globe, making it an ideal resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses.
