This path-breaking study looks at the nature of contemporary environmental politics, analyzing the emergence and sustenance of institutional perceptions of environmental problems. The book argues that a new perspective– "ecological modernization", which stresses the opportunities of environmental policy for modernizing the economy and stimulating technological innovation–has come to replace the antagonistic debates of the 1970s.
