About the Book

The classical approach to environmental policy - of activists and government regulators pitted against polluting industries - has had impressive results. However, it can never achieve a sustainable society that integrates environmental values into everyday thinking and decision making. This book proposes a new model of cooperative environmental management which brings together government, business, citizens, and activists to negotiate long-term deals on policy. The model is based on the lessons learned during Paul de Jonge's leadership of the Dutch National Environmental Policy Plan. This Plan is now widely considered as setting a new international standard in sustainable development planning and is inspiring a more effective policy approach around the world. This book is an insider account which describes the key elements of cooperative environmental management and applies these to analyze developments in Europe, North America and Oceania, and to global environmental diplomacy.
