'. . . the book's contents will appeal to academics working within the fields of environmental politics or central and east European studies, as well as to political or social scientists with an interest in SMO development.' -- David Benson, Environmental Politics 'Environment and Democracy in the Czech Republic is a succinct, well written and scrupulously researched book. . .' -- Sean Hanley, Europe-Asia Studies '. . . this book provides a well-researched survey of the development of the environmental movement in the Czech Republic and of its role in relation to the democratic transition process. . . For scholars and students looking at environmental politics in Central and Eastern Europe, it provides a wealth of information that will be useful in conducting comparative studies.' -- Alberto Costi, European Environment 'Fagan has written a well-researched analysis of the evolving role and status of Czech EMOs since the overthrow of communism.' -- John M. Kramer, Slavic Review 'This volume presents an original study of the development of the environmental movement in the Czech Republic, particularly in relation to the democratic transition process. It offers a broad, historical analysis of the evolution of the movement through the 1990s to the present day, and presents rich case studies on a number of environmental organisations. The detailed empirical work reveals interesting insights into the character of contemporary Czech politics and the difficulties faced by the environmental movement. This is a well researched and well written piece of work which will make a valuable contribution to the existing literature.' -- James Meadowcroft, University of Sheffield, UK Read more...
