"This collection of concisely written articles by a group of leading European and international scholars provides a compelling introduction to important environmental policy themes from both historical and contemporaneous perspectives. Key analytical concepts and paradigms which have guided environmental policy making over the past decades are discussed, factors affecting environmental policy performance and environmental policy change are introduced, and the challenges that will need to be overcome to achieve transformations of energy systems and urban environments are considered. A broad range of topics, including geoengineering, indigenous knowledge in climate policy, the role of litigation, and new forms of environmental activism are covered. The book will be of great use to teachers, students and practitioners looking for a solid overview of central environmental policy concepts, research questions, and empirical approaches."
