Green European

Empirical and methodologically sophisticated, this excellent volume is the first systematic comparative study of environmental attitudes using the ISSP in over two decades. It explores with great insight environmental attitudes and behavior in Europe and elsewhere. Jon Pammett is a professor of political science at Carleton University, Canada. Firmly based on data from international social surveys, this volume provides a varied and fascinating overview of European environmental perceptions, attitudes, and actions. By applying insightful interpretations on a rich collection of available data, it fills a major gap in our understanding of how Europeans think and act about the environment. Moreover, the contributions to the book represent a truly European-wide set of analytical angles on the social dimensions of the environment. Highly recommended, both as an indispensable resource.
