Description: "Public Policy in the Age of Globalization focuses on changes in environmental and economic policies in six developing countries: Argentina, Costa Rica, South Korea, India, the Ivory Coast and South Africa. Highlighting the interaction between domestic political processes and international actors, the contributors demonstrate how crises can affect policy making, but also how domestic politics may cause crises.

The book analyses the interplay between actors such as politicians, interest groups, civil society, environmentalists and international institutions, and how those actors can affect policy outcomes."--BOOK JACKET.
