Considers the relative weakness of European Union institutions concerned with environmental policy and the balance of power between business interests and environmental groups, against a background in which the EU is trying to move away from a "legislative factory" approach towards new types of policy instruments. Discusses the globalized context of environmental policy, touching on global warming and water and air pollution, and discusses issues of policy effectiveness. Grant teaches politics at the University of Warwick. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
