| Popis: | Global environmental policy-making is reshaping the scope, substance and implications of environmental policy analysis. Environmental policy studies are giving greater attention to transnational and regional issues such as problem of policy scale, regional and international policy integration, ecosystem management, cross-boundary governance and, most important here, the feasibility of regional policy designs and the transferability of policy instruments from one national or regional setting to another. The literature multiplies. Policy analysts increasingly contrast national and regional experience with substantive policy on different continents, to produce usable knowledge by asking what policies work, why they work (or do not), and which policies “travel” well across national and regional boundaries. These cross-national evaluations, especially with a tough-minded intent to produce practical results, can be enormously useful for political scholars and practitioners. But these studies come with characteristic opportunities and obstacles. Discrimination becomes necessary. What makes some studies better than others? |
