Environmental policy has been the focus of reform efforts for
more than a generation. Now policymakers face a new and challenging
set of issues: how to develop strategies for attacking new
environmental problems, how to develop better strategies for
solving the old ones, and how to do both in ways that are more
efficient, less taxing, and engender less political opposition. On
one level, environmental performance is the problem. On a broader
level, the question is how reshaped intergovernmental partnerships
will affect how America is governed. This book charts the politics
of the next generation of environmental policy: how citizens will
sort competing goals and responsibilities, how conflict and
collaboration will shape the policy options, and how the nations
political institutions will respond. These issues raise tough
political problems that will define which options are viable and
how different options will reshape politics. The contributors
outline a path to fresh perspectives on the critical problems that
must be addressed. Contributors: Christopher H. Foreman Jr.
