  Environment and Politics introduces the ways in which politics and policy respond to the diverse challenges of environmental problems. Outlining the position of politics within an interdisciplinary environmental focus, the book examines the full range of green politics: the institutional responses of parliaments, parties and electoral systems; the more informal politics of non-governmental organisations and social movements; and the politics of business as it responds to the greening of our society. Highlighting the multiplicity of green political responses, the book features a wealth of original global case material. Prompting critical thinking for environmental problem-solving, the authors suggest international solutions can be found in the diverse experiences of different cultures and the knowledge and respect of international environmental policy-makers for these national and local traditions.
