ISBN: 0742510840 ISBN-13: 9780742510845 Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers OUR PRICE: $134.64 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 2001 Annotation: Environmental policy is broadly viewed as an oasis of democracy, unspoiled by crass capitalism and undominated by corporate interests. This book counters that view. The focus of Corporate Power and the Environment is on how U.S. economic elites--corporate decisionmakers and other individuals of substantial wealth--shape the content and implementation of U.S. environmental policy to their economic and political benefit. The author uses the management of the national forests and national parks, as well as wilderness preservation policies and federal clean air policies, as case studies to show corporate power in action in even the purest of policy arenas.
