Publisher's Note Hopkins explores the policy process for national parks, reserves, and the environment in three Latin American countries--Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica. Using case studies and examples from each country, he compares these to reach generalizations about the policy process in Latin America.
Industry Reviews Focusing on efforts to conserve the environment by setting aside parks and reserves in Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica, looks at both the common elements and the features unique to each country because of differences in political systems, culture, and administrative style. Explores the socioeconomic, environmental, and political contexts; the history of conservation and national parks; perceptions and issues; major actors; management and development strategies; and the policy environment and process.
