This edited collection provides a cross-sectional review of
environmental legislation and administration in the United States,
with comparative chapters relating to Canada and New Zealand. The
experts look at a variety of environmental issues that create policy
problems, and while the book offers no blueprint or prognosis of
environmental policy in the twenty-first century, it does offer
insights into trends that will influence the future shape of that
policy. The book is prefaced by an overview of the environment as a
problem for policy by Lynton K. Caldwell, who has been credited with
inventing the term environmental policy. Experts examine the role of
risk analysis in policy making; the transnational issues associated
with NAFTA and GATT are discussed; and the efforts of the
Environmental Protection Agency to integrate policy and administration
are described. The perspective of the authors is transnational, with
several chapters focusing primarily on U.S. policy.
