‘The wide coverage and richness of content make this book a rewarding read, particularly for students interested in exposure to both unique features of specific countries and the common theoretical foundations in environmental studies. It demonstrates a strong capacity to usher readers into new frontiers and new instruments in climate policies, waste management and carbon taxes, among others. Given these merits, this book is a valuable addition to the existing literature.’
