Bringing the Environment Back In

[Benjamin William Cashore]

Dear colleagues and friends,

 

I am pleased to let you know that “Bringing the Environment Back In” is now officially out at Perspectives on Politics. The piece is meant to be provocative, as it seeks to expand how we think of, and the type of policy analysis we apply, to address the climate and species extinctions crises. 

 

I am now working on a book that elaborates many of the themes – especially how to design effective “thermostatic institutions” for solving Type 4 environmental problems. I am grateful for extensive feedback received on previous drafts from so many of you and to my Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy research assistants (see acknowledgements section). Thanks to the generosity of LKYSPP the piece is open access so feel free to share

 

Best

 

Ben
