James Keeley and Ian Scoones have just produced their latest book UNDERSTANDING ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY PROCESSES: CASES FROM AFRICA
http://www.earthscan.co.uk/asp/bookdetails.asp?key=3928
'This is a book that policy-makers must not be allowed to ignore! Drawing on their extensive research in three countries, Keeley and Scoones show how environmental knowledge is constructed by the interplay of politics and science, generating beliefs and policies... Its insights carry powerful and important messages for policy-makers, scientists, researchers, academics, donors and those engaged in policy advocacy and influence'
ROBERT CHAMBERS, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK
UNDERSTANDING ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY PROCESSES answers the following questions:
1) How are environmental policies created and once put to effect, why are they so difficult to change despite sometimes becoming detrimental to the environment they are set up to protect?
2) African environmental policy is largely controlled by Northern concepts of how the environment should be handled - are these Northern ideals best for Africa itself?
3) What can be done to make policy making more participatory?
