Coming Clean

Information Disclosure and Environmental Performance
By Michael E. Kraft, Mark Stephan and Troy D. Abel

Coming Clean is the first book to investigate the process of information disclosure as a policy strategy for environmental protection. This process, which requires that firms disclose information about their environmental performance, is part of an approach to environmental protection that eschews the conventional command-and-control regulatory apparatus, which sometimes leads government and industry to focus on meeting only minimal standards.

Toward Sustainable Communities, Second Edition

Transition and Transformations in Environmental Policy
Edited by Daniel A. Mazmanian and Michael E. Kraft

This analysis of U.S. environmental policy offers a conceptual framework that serves as a valuable roadmap to the array of laws, programs, and approaches developed over the last four decades. Combining case studies and theoretical discussion, the book views environmental policy in the context of three epochs: the rise of command-and-control federal regulation in the 1970s, the period of efficiency-based reform efforts that followed, and the more recent trend toward sustainable development and integrated approaches at local and regional levels.

Edited by Michael E. Kraft and Sheldon Kamieniecki
