Colleagues: I’m pleased to announce the release of Towards Continental Environmental Policy? North American Transnational Networks and Governance, edited by Peter Stoett and me, and published in the SUNY series in Environmental Governance: Local-Regional-Global Interactions. It features contributions by many of the leading scholars of U.S.-Mexican and U.S.-Canadian environmental politics on timely topics and with a conceptual focus on the transnational networks implicated in North American environmental governance and the important bi- and trinational organizations participating in them.
You can read more about the book here: http://www.sunypress.edu/p-6461-towards-continental-environment.aspx I have pasted the list of contributions below. Given the contemporary salience of the U.S.-Mexico border fence/wall (which, incidentally, cuts through our main parking lot at UTRGV), I think you may find Chapter 10, by Stephen Mumme and Christopher Brown, particularly interesting. As far as I know it’s the only scholarly publication providing a political history and overview of this issue. This book also serves as the launch for the SUNY Series in Environmental Governance, edited by Stoett and me (although there are other books in the pipeline for the series). If you are interested in publishing in this series, or have any questions about the book, please contact me at [email protected]. Yours truly, Owen Foreword Irasema Coronado Acknowledgments 1.
