Six principles
The six principles discussed in the book are:
- the sustainability principle
- the polluter pays principle
- the precautionary principle
- the equity principle
- human rights principles
- the participation principle
Interdisciplinary approach
This book differs from other texts on environmental policy-making as a result of its critical and interdisciplinary approach. Rather than merely setting out policies in a descriptive or prescriptive way, it analyses and evaluates policy options from a variety of perspectives. This enables students and general readers not only to gain a thorough grasp of important principles and current policies, but also to be able to apply the principles and critically evaluate them.
