The emphasis is on environmental policy and regulation at the national level, but regional, state, and local approaches/initiatives will also be considered. In addition to considering the policy process (the how), we will also review the state of environmental policy (legislation and effectiveness) and explore the policy evaluation process (the tools and techniques policy makers use to make better decisions cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, and environmental impact assessment).
