Editorial Reviews

Economists, legal scholars, policy analysts, and sociologists from Poland and the US look at the improved environmental protection since the fall of the communist regime and the challenges still facing the country. They consider a wide range of issues, including environmental policy innovations, privatization, the perspective of the regulated community, and the growth and maturation of Poland's non-governmental environment movement. The seven studies emerged from a 1996 conference sponsored by Indiana University. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
