Examines the evolving American state policy process surrounding climate change. Rabe devotes particular attention to the factors prompting so many states to take significant steps toward greenhouse gas reduction. These states cut across regions and traditional partisan divides; agency-based policy entrepreneurs appear to be central players in developing policy ideas and forming viable coalitions.
Barry G. Rabe is a professor of environmental policy in the School of Natural Resources and Environment and professor of public policy in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. He also directs the university's new Program in Environment. Rabe is the author of two previous Brookings books, When Federalism Works and Beyond NIMBY.

Stephan, Washington State University, Choice, 11/1/2004 |"This well volume by a professor of environmental policy is an essential book for students of environmental and energy policy." - Educational Book Review, 9/1/2004 |"make[s] important contributions to the growing literature on comparative environmental policy....Rabe has written an analytically insightful and approachable book that serves various audiences.
