Environmental Choices by Lawrence Rothenberg, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Within a federal system, government agencies and regulatory policies can be fractured - even at odds with each other. National actors share power with their counterparts in states and localities, as do presidents with Congressional leaders, and bureaucrats with judges. Understanding the broad economic and political contexts of environmental policymaking illuminates the motivations behind policy choices of various interested parties, from the National Park Service and the EPA to environmental activists and members of Congress. Rothenberg utilizes basic economic ideas to provide, not only a fresh look at how the U. S. deals with environmental ills, but a way of thinking about policy making in general. | Environmental Choices by Lawrence Rothenberg, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
