Environmental Policy

'Wolfgang Rudig has put together a fine collection of published articles and chapters on comparative environmental policy. The two-volume collection includes well-known or oft-cited authors (L. Caldwell, L. Lundqvist, P. Knoepful, P. Haas, O. Young) but also less-known works by authors who, Rudig hopes, will now get the attention they deserve. . . any scholar of environmental policy should be delighted to have access to this collection. . . the collection is classic, well edited and excellent value for money.' -- Elizabeth Bomberg, Environmental Politics
