Читать книгу Towards a Political Education Through Environmental Issues - Melki Slimani - Страница 15

Environmental politics generally address water and air pollution issues, waste and ecosystem management issues and biodiversity protection issues. These issues are addressed in terms of political-legal regimes (polity), public policy (policy) or political action (politics). They also address issues of environmental change, which are changes in the climate system, hydrological systems of freshwater supply and agricultural food production systems. These changes represent large-scale risks to the sustainability of these systems. Voß and Bornemann (2011) propose an analytical and political framework for environmental governance. In this model, the authors distinguish three dimensions: a first dimension referring to the substantive problems and solutions of policy; a second covering the structural side of polity such as norms, procedures and political culture; and a third dimension of politics representing the actualized side of the policy process where actors with divergent views and interests interact.
