Abstract

The Politics of Air Pollution: Urban Growth, Ecological Modernization, and Symbolic Inclusion. By George A. Gonzalez. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2005. 144p. $55.00.The question of how public policy is and should be made is among the most important questions political scientists research. From David Easton's systems theory to the competing pluralist schools (Robert Dahl and Charles Lindblom, 1953; Dahl, 1956, 1961) to elite (G. William Domhoff, 1974), feminist (Amy Mazur, 2002; Nancy Fraser, 1997; Deborah Stone, 1997), postpositivist (Pushkala Prasad, 2005; Dvora Yanow, 2000), policy learning (Sabatier, 1987, 1999), and other theories of public policy, political scientists continue to wrestle with the causes and consequences of public policy.
