Campaigning for the Environment

Originally published in 1974 Campaigning for the Environment addresses the issue of the environmental lobby.Using seven case-studies from the time of publication, the book covers the important aspects of environmental campaigning, where the environment has been threatened and where pressure groups have been formed to defend it.The book discusses the political problems of protecting and improving the environment, and states that each campaign involves taking on major sections of the political system.Despite having been published over 40 years ago, the commentary of the book, and the analysis in the case studies is still as relevant today as it was then.This book will be of interest to academics working in the field of environment and sustainability, conservation and political studies.
