Publisher description
This two-volume work examines how the interplay of ideas and actions
applied to environmental problems has laid the foundations for global
environmental management. It looks at how ideas, interests, and institutions
affect management practice; how management capabilities in other areas affect
the ability to deal with specific environmental issues; and how learning
affects society's approach to the global environment. The book focuses on
efforts to deal with climate change, ozo ne depletion, and acid rain from 1957
(The International Geophysical Year) until 1992 (the UN Conference on
Environment and Development). The settings include Canada, Germany, Hungary,
Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the former Soviet Union, the United Kingdom,
the United States, and international environmental organizations. Topics
include problem framing, agenda setting, issue attention, risk assessment,
monitoring, option assessment, goal and strategy formulation, implementation,
and evaluation. Volume 1 provides an overview of the project, of global environmental
management in general, and of the three central environmental issues studied;
it also contains the individual country studies. Volume 2 contains the
management function studies and the book's conclusion. This two-volume work examines how the interplay of ideas and actions
applied to environmental problems has laid the foundations for global
environmental management. Volume 1 provides an overview of the project and of
global environmental management in general.
