They encourage highly specialized forms of knowledge and structure themselves in compartmentalized ways. In stark contrast, environmental problems cut across all artificial divisions and boundaries. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eManaging Leviathan\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the nature of environmental problems from genetically modified crops to climate change, from urban sprawl to toxic chemicals to trace pharmaceuticals in our water supply. Understanding these problems, and how they might be resolved, requires that we transcend the divisions of government, economy, and knowledge. Solutions often also require the mobilization of citizen knowledge and values. Are governments and bureaucracies up to the complex task? How might they adapt to be better suited to meet the new environmental challenges that continuously arise?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extensively revised edition of \u003ci\u003eManaging Leviathan\u003c\/i\u003e expands from a North American to a global perspective and includes new articles on both European and Australian experiences as well as on transnational environmental issues.
