Great point! We recently had two failed searches for an Americanist
that also did Environment. We had to expand the search to include
Associate level candidates and finally got a fantastic scholar, but
the pool was extremely limited otherwise.

Hi,
We’re hoping to hire in the area of American politics and environment
in the next year or so and I’ve been struck by how few people are
working in this space. There is a lot of work on US environmental
policy but as far as I can tell not much that connects some
traditional issues in American politics with the environmental issue
domain.

Many thanks to all who replied to my inquiry (David, Johnathan, Leah,
Tabitha, and others off-list!). This is a very helpful listserv.
After skimming and sometimes reading carefully all the suggested
work, I am struck by how little attention is given to the roles of
campaign finance and corporate lobbying in environmental
decisionmaking and outcomes. Given the outsized role of wealthy
campaign contributors to the contemporary American political process,
I wonder if I just missed it, or maybe there is a free-standing
article on this somewhere?
Thank you again!

I was going to recommend the exact same chapter from the Vig and
Kraft book. In fact, the first three chapters really do it all in
terms of introducing students to the politics side.
And the most recent edition is just as good - although it was written
just before the US election and they clearly thought Hilary was going
to win (as we all did).
Best,
Tabitha

Hi Debra,
This probably won't give you everything your students
need--especially as regards the more expressly "political"
dimensions--but chapter 1 in Vig and Kraft, /Environmental Policy:
New Directions for the 21st Century/, might be useful. (Full
disclosure: that's based on the 6th edition; I haven't seen the latest).
Best,
Jonathan

Hello,
I am increasingly encountering students from other disciplines
(engineering, architecture, biology, theology, etc.) who have no
exposure to politics or political science. I am searching for an
article that I can assign in Intro to Sustainability that would
give them some basic information on the role of lobbying,
campaign finance, legislation, regulatory bodies, taxation, and
other dimensions of politics in promoting or obstructing action
on environmental concerns.
Is there a single “go to” article or book chapter that
essentially explains how politics works (and applies specifically
to environmental issues)? If not, are there a few that could be
combined? The course is not an environmental politics course, so
I don’t have the luxury of assigning as much writing on politics
as I’d like. The assignment needs to be appropriate for an intro
course and assume no knowledge, because wow, they are shockingly
innocent.
Best regards,
Debra
