Statehouse and Greenhouse

The Emerging Politics of American Climate Change Policy

Edición de la obra Statehouse and Greenhouse

"Few public policy issues seem as hopeless as climate change. A gridlocked U.S. national government has abandoned the Kyoto process while evidence of significant climate change mounts. Washington, D.C., is not the only place where public policy is made, however, and inertia is not the story of this book. Many U.S. states have developed innovative programs to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Statehouse and Greenhouse examines this evolving policy process, considers where it may be heading, and explores what it could mean for climate policy as well as for American government and federalism."--Jacket.
