“This book considers the key players in environmental debate and policy-making: social movements, interest groups, political parties, the media, the parliaments and the bureaucracy.  It contains much rich empirical material, including analysis of public opinion and the representation of the environmental debate in the media.  While many of the case studies in the book are Australian, the concerns are presented to an international readership.  Chief of these is identification of the obstacles that prevent effective policy-making.  Importantly, Elim Papadakis explores the possibilities for overcoming these so as to achieve the political consensus which follows from constructive dialogue.”
