About this product

Product Information

Comparative Perspectives on Environmental Policies and Issues presents tools and concepts about environmental policies in several developed and developing countries. It explores a broad survey of ecological modernization theory, ecological feminism theory, environmental justice theory, the concept of sustainability, and research on environmental policies. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, and are used to analyze social, economic, and environmental impact on people. The book specifically discusses how the earth's basic life-supporting capital (soils, forests, species, fresh water and oceans) is degraded or depleted to provide for human needs, and how air pollution and acid precipitation, are causing widespread injury to humans, forests, and crops. Realistically, over-taxing of natural resources and ecological systems throughout the world has promoted economic growth and created increasing opportunities for people while also advancing social injustice. The use of the environment to accomplish social and economic transformation raises fundamental issues for the study of environmental policy and the natural ecological system. As human beings exploit the natural environment to meet present needs, they often will destroy resources needed for the future generations. Thus, environmental policies are enacted to ensure that social and economic impacts of the environment are compatible with the limits of natural systems. Offering an intuitive and crystal-clear explanation of the key concepts and principles of environmental policies and sustainable development, this volume is suitable not only for environmental science students, but also for instructors, practitioners, researchers, and academics.

"This bookoffersclear and concise articulations of the critical environmental policy issues in various developing and developed countries. Paying particular attention to the interface between human behavior and environmental degradation, the book also exposes its readers to the full scope of issues predicated on a risk-based framework for environmental policy analysis that encourages them to judge for themselves the significance of the future trends in ecological discourse." --Felix M. Edoho, Lincoln University "The chapters in this book have been carefully written to address policy concerns from a social science perspective in order to provide a thorough understanding of sustainable development. Governmental and non-governmental organizations will find this book informative and instructive as they wrestle with country-based programs that impinge upon environmental variables and have ramifications that could be irreversible with regard to the negative consequences. This book is highly recommended to university libraries, conservation and preservation scholars, and mid-management policy makers researching or working in the emerging nations of the world." --Valentine James, Clarion University d be irreversible with regard to the negative consequences.
