Description

This volume explores the processes by which hazardous waste policies are formulated and implemented. A collection of papers by distinguished scholars in the field, this is the first treatment of the subject to address both the international and the domestic policy arenas. Also the most current discussion of the topic available, the book includes several articles which deal with the landmark 1984 amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. An important adjunct to courses in environmental politics, public policy, and intergovernmental relations, this book sheds new light on the complex political process by which hazardous waste politics are developed, enacted into law, enforced, and reassessed.
