| Summary |
As the study of environmental policy and justice becomes increasingly significant in today's global climate, standard statistical approaches to gathering data have become less helpful at generating new insights and possibilities. None of the conventional frameworks easily allow for the empirical modeling of the interactions of all the actors involved, or for the emergence of outcomes unintended by the actors. The existing frameworks account for the ""what, "" but not for the ""why.""Heather E. Campbell, Yushim Kim, and Adam Eckerd bring an innovative perspective to environmental justice researc |
