Now in its eighth edition, The Environmental Policy Paradox continues the book's tradition of offering an accessible introduction to the social, economic, legal, and political matters pertaining to environmental policy while also developing the student’s own unique views. The text explains why some environmental ideas shape policy while others do not and illustrates that even when the best short- and long-term solutions to environmental problems are identified, the task of implementing these solutions is often left undone or is completed too late.

New to the eighth edition:

New topics including environmental social movements and the anti-environmental countermovements, environmental justice, corporate influence in regulatory affairs.
Analyzes the growing policy divide between the two parties, and the efforts of both Republicans and Democratic presidents to undo the policies of their predecessor.
Updated discussions of environmental justice issues.
Includes a range of visual aids in figures and tables to demonstrate trends in the topics covered.
A new co-author, Peter Jacques, recognized for his teaching and scholarship in global environmental politics and sustainability.

A must-buy for courses in Environmental Policy, Environmental Studies, and Public Policy; and as a supplement for courses in American Government and Public Administration.
