Publisher Description:

Environmental Management: The Basics is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and process of environmental management. It considers the complexity and inter-relatedness of environmental management issues and introduces the idea of effective management as an integrated process comprising inputs from science, law, economics and policy. Critically analysing the strengths and weaknesses of approaches to management with reference to global case studies, it answers such questions as:

  • Why do we try to manage the environment?

  • How should we decide what method to use?

  • How do we assess the effectiveness of environmental management?

  • Does the process differ on local and global scales?

  • Has our approach to environmental management changed over time?

Featuring diagrams, suggestions for further reading and a glossary of key terminology to allow readers to develop their interest in the subject, it is the ideal starting point for anyone new to the study of environmental management.
