About the book
"Environmental policy studies commissioned by government agencies or other stakeholders can play a vital role in environmental decision making, they provide much needed insight into policy options and specific recommendations for action. But the results of even the most rigorous studies are frequently misappropriated or misunderstood and are as likely to confuse an issue as they are to clarify it.". "Better Environmental Policy Studies explores this problem as it considers the shortcomings of current approaches to policy studies and presents a pragmatic new approach to the subject. Reviewing five cases that are widely regarded as the most effective policy studies to have been conducted in the United States in the past few decades, the authors present a comprehensive guide to the concepts and methods required for conducting effective policy studies.". "Better Environmental Policy Studies presents a practical battle-tested approach to overcoming the obstacles to formulating effective environmental policy. It is an invaluable resource for students and faculty in departments of environmental studies, public policy and administration, and planning, as well as for professional policy analysts and others involved with making decisions and mediating disputes over environmental issues."--BOOK JACKET.
