Governing the Environment considers both scenarios, and those between the two extremes, in its examination of current trends and challenges in managing environmental issues.This collection of seven essays, authored by leading Canadian academics, examines different aspects of the relationship between government and environmental issues. The volume focuses on Canadian contributions and innovations in the field, but it is of relevance to audiences around the world.Parson's introductory essay sets the stage for the complex discussions to follow. He provides background by sketching the Canadian institutional context for environmental protection: by describing the major pollutant burdens and the state of natural resources, and by summarizing the most salient policy issues. His conclusion elaborates on four major themes emerging from the work. These are the achievement of 'adaptive management'; the challenge of building effective government and interjurisdictional capacities for managing the environment; the need for networks to share responsibility more effectively without overlapping tasks; and finally, the real challenge to state authority that these undertakings represent. This work is written for a multidisciplinary academic audience, encompassing students and teachers of advanced environmental studies and Canadian public policy. 410 0$aPolicy research (Toronto, Ont.) 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zCanada 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zCanada$xDecision making 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental protection$xDecision making 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental protection$xDecision making. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection$xDecision making. 676 $a333.720971 700 $aParson$b Edward A., $0509502 702 $aParson$b Edward 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456284103321 996 $aGoverning the environment$92482022 997 $aUNINA
