Branching Out, Digging in - Environmental Advocacy and Agenda Setting

Klappentext "This is, by far, the best book to date on conflict expansion, venue-shopping, and the strategic competition among policy advocates over who makes public decisions and on what basis. The book demands attention not only from those interested in environmental policy, but more broadly from all those concerned with public policy, issue-definition, and venue-shopping at national and international levels. Not least, it should be read by policy advocates themselves for important lessons about how to contain or to restructure debates. The outcomes of important political controversies depend on it."—Frank R. Baumgartner, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, The Pennsylvania State University. Zusammenfassung Looks at why some environmental conflicts expand to attract a lot of attention and participation! while others generate little interest or action. This title examines the expansion and containment of political conflict around forest policies in the United States and Canada.
