Biografia e Jornada do Autor
James Salzman has built a career at the intersection of environmental law, public policy, and everyday life. Educated first in history at Yale and then in law and engineering at Harvard, he became the first Harvard graduate to earn joint degrees in law and engineering. Before entering academia, he worked in Paris in the Environment Directorate of the OECD and in London as European environmental manager for Johnson Wax, experiences that gave him an unusually broad view of how rules are made, applied, and contested across governments, markets, and institutions.
