Editorial Reviews
Choice
"Despite tremendous pressures for economic growth, infrastructure expansion, industrial development, and resource exploitation, several Latin American countries have created impressive systems of mational parks and protected areas. Hopkins focises on policy issues and policy process related to countries in that region that arguably have been most successful at developing protected area systems: Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica. Through a comparative public policy approach that relies on detailed case studies, he identifies the most important issues involved in protected area policy development, and the particular variables that explain the degree of success each country has achieved in creating protected areas...Suitable for upper-division undergraduates through preofesionals."
