Opis

In this edition, the progress made in the 1990s to solve the environmental problems described in the first edition of this book is assessed. Attempts to bring environmental legislation into line with West European norms are explored and the book also looks at air and water pollution, modern farming, water supplies, waste management and landscape protection. These topics are placed within economic, social and political profiles, as spending on a clean environment must be reconciled with welfare spending and the safeguarding of jobs. European Union assistance, civil society and the work of environmental NGOs are also discussed.

'In my opinion, this book is a valuable source of basic environmental information on post-socialist countries.' - Stanislaw Czaja, University of Silesia, Poland, The Geographical Journal, Volume 169
