About this book
Reviews
“This important book employs comparative case studies using the Advocacy Coalition Framework on hydraulic fracking controversies in seven North American and European countries, providing a much-needed demonstration of the array of methods that can be brought to bear on studies of policy change at the subsystem level. Serious public policy scholars and graduate students should read this book.” (Hank Jenkins-Smith, George Lynn Cross Research Professor, University of Oklahoma, USA)
“This terrific book provides a much needed comparative analysis of shale policy and debates in advanced democracies. Held together by a common conceptual framework, the collection delivers an insight-rich study of the key players, coalition dynamics and contested authority surrounding hydraulic fracturing. A must read for students of comparative policy, environment or energy politics.” (Elizabeth Bomberg, Professor of Environmental Politics, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK)
