Overview

Understanding and Implementing Environmental Public Policies provides a comprehensive overview of the complex subject of environmental policies. It engages readers in critical thinking on topics related to environmental policy while enabling them to learn common technical terminology and consider the application of environmental policy in Europe. The complex dynamics of global environmental policies and the pressing challenges of the climate emergency are becoming increasingly prominent in today’s landscape. This book aims not only to examine how we can “govern the environment” but also to explore and understand the complexity of the challenges posed by its current state, and looks to reconstruct a European framework of reference. The book critically focuses on environmental issues and identifies the numerous actors involved, analyzing their actions and retracing the policy cycle (formulation-decision-making-implementation-evaluation) in an attempt to outline a path that can be applied to environmental policies. As a practical guide, Understanding and Implementing Environmental Public Policies is intended for students enrolled in university courses or master’s programs dedicated to environmental public policy and politics, as well as for practitioners exploring different perspectives in the analysis of public policies.
