Review
It makes a significant contribution to the topic, well ahead of others in this field (International Journal of Environmental Studies)
There is a wealth of material for anyone interested in this highly fascinating and important topic (Environmental Politics)
The book is an absolute 'must read' for anyone who is interested in environmental politics and policy and sustainable development. The main strength of the book is that it does not only analyse different policy approaches in various countries but also examines the perception and translation of the very concept of sustainable development (Environmental Politics)

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. At the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, political leaders from more than a hundred countries made a formal commitment to intensify efforts to resolve global environment and development problems and to strive for sustainable development. This volume examines how governments in the developed industrial world have responded to the challenge of sustainable development since it was catapulted into the international stage. It focuses on central government engagement withsustainable development in Australia, Canada, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. The study shows that sustainable development has beenintegrated into governmental idiom in most jurisdictions and has come to be associated with a series of changes to the structures and approaches deployed to manage environmental problems. Yet, it also reveals significant differences of interpretation and priority, and in the enthusiasm with which sustainable development has been received. This book examines how governments in industrialized countries have engaged with the challenge of sustained development over the past decade. Analysis of initiatives undertaken by nine national governments and the European Union reveal important differences in the ways the international commitment to sustainable development has been received.
