The many facets of contemporary British environmental politics cannot be covered adequately in a brief article. So the author has chosen to look at how environmental policies are formed, how public opinion is changing, and what the main political parties are advocating. He also emphasizes the growing significance of the influence of the European Community (ECO) on British environmental regulation. Finally, the author examines the link between national economic strategy and technological development on the one hand, and the emergence of new environmental thinking on the other, in what is now popularly known as the enterprise culture.
