Description
This book presents a unique method of looking at environmental policy and contextual implementation. Honadle outlines alternative approaches for implementing policies designed to protect natural resources and promote sustainable development practices. Drawing upon a range of disciplines, the book identifies specific elements of the natural resource condition and the social and political settings that present opportunities, create implementation hurdles, and affect policy performance. A mix of examples from the North and South illustrate how context-specific policy can succeed.
