Multilevel Environmental Governance: Managing Water and Climate Change in Europe and North America
In Multilevel Environmental Governance: Managing Water and Climate Change in Europe and North America (Edward Elgar 2014) – edited by Inger Weibust, Assistant Professor, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University and James Meadowcroft, Professor, School of Public Policy and Administration, Carleton University – the authors examine how multilevel governance (MLG) systems address climate change and water policy. They show how the interplay between autonomous governments at the sub-national, federal or supranational and international levels in MLG systems create unique challenges and opportunities. Both cutting greenhouse gas emissions and allocating river flows require tough political or legal decisions that create winners and losers. This book offers a cogent examination of the successes and failures of the United States, European Union, Canada and Australia in grappling with these policy problems.
This book will appeal to academics and students of public policy, international affairs and environment studies. Those working in government institutions will find the research both interesting and invaluable.
