"This new text combines the theoretical underpinnings of environmental politics in Australia with both the informal and formal structures and processes through which it must be played. But most importantly it goes on to look at how political theory and political practice have an impact on policy making. This makes the work uniquely comprehensive." "Although real cases are referred to throughout the text, Part III deals with detailed case studies, moving from a local environment through state and federal cases to a global perspective where the authors consider Australia's behaviour and performance on the world stage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
