“This remarkable book contains everything you need to teach a rich, dynamic course on the practical and theoretical dimensions of environmental policy as well as to evaluate your students’ work. It integrates classic readings, commentaries, scenarios and assignments, along with videos of talks by faculty and presentations by students.” —Judith E. Innes, Professor Emerita, Department of City and Regional Planning, University of California Berkeley, USA “Developed in the classroom of MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning, this is the long-awaited textbook for introductory environmental policy courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. It includes a number of essential reading materials authored by leading scholars that will provide a framework for analyzing the substance and processes of environmental policy. It also comes with scenario-based exercises, suggested assignments, exam questions and even sample answers. It is a must-have volume for all instructors around the world.” —Masahiro Matsuura, Professor, Meiji University, Graduate School of Governance Studies, Tokyo, Japan
