Comparative Environmental Politics

"In an era of globalization the authors argue that nation-states still make the critical decisions affecting the global environment. Nations decide whether to participate in international environmental agreements, and governments make the policies that implement those agreements. Therefore, understanding the global environmental future requires an understanding of the domestic circumstances and national performance of states." "This volume looks at the ways countries vary politically and assesses the impact on responses to global environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, and trans-boundary air pollution."--BOOK JACKET.McBeath, Jerry is the author of 'Comparative Environmental Politics ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781402047626 and ISBN 1402047622.
