Crossing Borders, Crossing Boundaries: The Role of Scientists in the U.S. Acid Rain Debate
Editorial Reviews
Review
“...the best study yet produced on the acid rain policy debate....a most important book for both natural scientists and political scientists in how science affects public policy....useful as a case-study text for courses in environmental politics, international environmental policy, and science, technology, and public policy.”–
“...recommended for natural scientists, social scientists, and policy analysts interested in a well-documented evaluation of the communications challenges between the science, policy, and interest group communities dealing with a major environmental issue that required nearly 20 years to progress from early consensus scientific definition to first-round legislative action in the United States.”–
Book Description
Alm provides an analysis of the science-policy linkage that defined the acid rain debate in the United States. In-depth interviews of scientists illustrate the problems that scientists have in connecting to the policy side of environmental debates.
