In this book, Janne Hukkinen takes a highly innovative approach in focusing on interactions among scientists in the important field of environmental management and protection and the emergence and application of policies. The author¿s approach is critical of the various scientific actors and how they assert their positions and work towards their goals. His critique is used to propose constructive actions that could overcome the apparent conflicts that exist in sustainable development regimes.

Janne Hukkinen is Professor of Environmental Policy at the University of Helsinki. He is the author of Institutions in Environmental Management (1999) also published by Routledge.
