Of My Own Free Will: Voluntary Approaches to Environmental Policy

How to work with community groups to encourage voluntary human and social change has long been a challenge to policy agencies both in New Zealand and overseas. This book provides policy advisors with a ready reference on the range of policy methods available and how they can be combined effectively and efficiently for natural resource management. The material builds on principles from social psychology, sociology and economics. It combines theory with the author's practical experience in a range of political environments and working with diverse rural and urban communities.
