where Jeremy Richardson, Albert Weale and Hugh Ward were excellent
hosts at the Department of Government and Thomas Christiansen a
very good roommate. Having included the UK as a country where
decision processes were far less participatory (and thus 'worse' in
my own view) than those in the Netherlands, I started doing my
first interviews there, which were mainly intended to identify
suitable case studies for research. But then I read a highly
critical review of a book that had a similar topic as my study. The
critique was that cases of hazardous waste siting cannot adequately
be studied without understanding their national context. This made
me decide to devote some attention to the legal context of
hazardous waste siting in the three countries of interest (which is
of course only a part of the national context) and its development
through the years. The study of the UK system of environmental
regulation and land use planning was not a simple issue, and I was
warned various times (for instance by Andrew Blowers at the Open
University) that the legislation was highly complex and easily
misinterpreted. I felt personally touched by such warnings and
decided that I should perhaps approach the UK system a bit less as
an evil empire and maybe be a bit more 'objective' in my
appraisals.
