This book provides a comprehensive look at the creation, implementation and evaluation of environmental policy, which is of particular importance in our current era of congressional gridlock, partisanship and polarization and escalating debates about federal and state relations. With a continued focus on the front lines of environmental policy, Rinfret and Pautz consider the major changes in the practice of U.S. environmental policy during the Trump and Biden administrations. Providing real-life examples of how environmental policy works rather than solely discussing how congressional action produces environmental laws, this third edition of \u201cUS Environmental Policy in Action\u201d offers a practical approach to understanding contemporary American environmental policy.
