After sweeping environmental legislation passed in the 1970s and
1980s, the 1990s ushered in an era when new legislation and reforms
to existing laws were consistently caught up in a gridlock. In
response, environmental groups became more specialized and
professional, learning how to effect policy change through the
courts, states, and federal agencies rather than through grassroots
movements. Without a significantly mobilized public and with a
generally uncooperative Congress, presidents since the 1990s have
been forced to step into a new role of increasing presidential
dominance over environmental policies. Rather than working with
Congress, presidents instead have employed unilateral actions and
administrative strategies to further their environmental goals.
Presidential Administration and the Environment offers a detailed
examination of the strategies and tools used by U.S. presidents.
Using primary sources from presidential libraries such as speeches
and staff communications, David M. Shafie analyzes how presidents
such as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have used alternative
executive approaches to pass environmental policies. From there,
Shafie presents case studies in land management, water policy,
toxics, and climate change. He analyzes the role that executive
leadership has played in passing policies within these four areas,
explains how this role has changed over time, and concludes by
investigating how Obama's policies compare thus far with those of
his predecessors. Shafie's combination of qualitative content
analysis and topical case studies offers scholars and researchers
alike important insights for understanding the interactions between
environmental groups and the executive branch and the implications
for future policymaking in the United States.
