Environmental Policy

Le résumé fourni par la source

Emerging mainly in Western countries in the 1960s and 1970s (Hoerber, 2012 ) in response to new scientific findings, socio-political movements, and external events including nuclear accidents and energy crises, “environmental policy” has since risen to remarkable prominence. Its prominence is exemplified by new institutional settings such as environmental ministries, new scientific endeavors, and professional communities, as well as new business models and ways of living. This entry explores the concept’s usage and then highlights some research approaches it has stimulated. It then turns to particularly salient research findings and concludes with future directions for conceptual and empirical work.
