Opis

This book takes a long-term view of environmental policy in Poland, which thus serves as an example to increase our understanding of environmental policy making in general in the former Eastern bloc countries. The perspective adopted also includes the pre-transition period, since the transformation process cannot be understood without reference to thepreceding period. The book investigates the driving forces underlying policy changes, both prior to and after the transition, and identifies elements bothof change and continuity - topics that have hitherto been neglected in the literature.
