Sommario/riassunto

Drawing on an empirical base, this book examines how environmental values are constructed and legitimized within the policy process. It trains the spotlight on four environmentally significant countries - China, Japan, India, and the United States, and incorporates legal, economic, philosophical, sociological, and political perspective points.
