This book looks at five of the most important environmental policy studies undertaken in recent decades to determine what made them successful and to devise strategies for creating successful studies in the future. It presents a pragmatic approach to conducting environmental policy studies, one that recognises the conflicting agendas that complicate the arena. It seeks to give policy studies real credence so that they can contribute to better environmental decisions, rather than end up as casualities of warfare. Recognising that interests won't cease to conflict, this book seeks to define a path for the policy analyst that enables productive outcomes. Better Environmental Policy Studies: How to Design and Conduct More Effective Analyses is unique in presenting a pragmatic, battle-tested approach to overcoming the obstacles to using our best understanding in formulating environmental policies. The lead author, Larry Susskind, is widely recognised for his approach to resolving environmental disputes and has unique credibility in this enterprise. Its emphasis on principles and cases should make it valuable to a wide range of students and professionals frustrated with the ineffectiveness that characterises current policy analysis, regardless of how good it is.
