A one-of-a kind, comprehensive analytical inquiry invaluable for students of political science, public administration and environmental policy, it is the best book written on this topic. -- Richard Feiock, Florida State University The greatest challenge in environmental protection and climate change is that they require tremendous amounts of cooperation across governments. Fowler's text provides a new frame for federalism scholarship - a synergy because environmentalism and multi-layered governance. This book is worth a read for students, scholars and anyone interested in getting a handle on this important. -- Jessica Terman, Associate Professor, George Mason Schar School of Policy and Government An impressive examination of the crucial--though often unappreciated--role that federalism plays in U.S. environmental policy. Drawing on an extensive array of original data, Fowler documents significant variation in the ways that states have fulfilled their environmental protection responsibilities. His findings raise profound questions about the capability of the American system to respond to new, complex environmental challenges such as climate change. -- Neal D. Woods, University of South Carolina Environmental Federalism: Old Legacies and New Challenges will likely become the next standard text for understanding the complex interworking of environmental policymaking in our federal system. It offers a cogent exploration of an ever changing and complex policy arena - environmental federalism. Using current data, Fowler empirically portends a typology of intergovernmental environmental policy that updates a long-standing and well-conceived typology. As evidence of its utility, Fowler constructs detailed case studies of various states that exemplify the typology's construct and demonstrate its application; in doing so, he provides a schematic for state and local policymakers to utilize in explaining where they stand currently and what they need to do to improve their environmental disposition. The field is in need of a contemporary update of environmental federalism and Fowler has delivered! -- Hunter Bacot, UNC Greensboro
