Focusing on institutional contrasts between Japan and Britain in terms of corporatist or pluralist characteristics of government-industry relations and decision-making and implementation styles, the book examines how and to what extent institutions explain climate policy in Japan and Britain. In doing this, the book explores how climate policy is shaped by the interplay of nationally specific institutional factors and universal constraints on actors, which emanate from characteristics 410 0$aIssues in Environmental Politics S. 606 $aGlobal warming 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGlobal warming. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 676 $a363.73874560941 700 $aOshitani$b Shizuka$01045291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465642303321 996 $aGlobal warming policy in Japan and Britain$92471474 997 $aUNINA
