Book Description
Equally a study of the ecological foundations of political systems and an analysis of how a particular Third World political system, Brazil's, addresses environmental issues, this book explores the institutional and political dimensions of environmental problems in developing countries. Roberto Guimaraes discusses the theoretical linkage between ecology and political science, presents a historical analysis of those linkages in Brazil, and looks at the structure for environmental policy formation and implementation in Brazil through a case study of the Special Secretariat for the Environment (SEMA).
