This study examines the administrative tools and techniques that
U.S. presidents have used to influence environmental policy. A
major portion of the book assesses current techniques and recent
administrations, particularly Reagan, Carter, and Bush strategies.
Experts, students, policymakers, and activists concerned with
public policy and environmental issues will find this unique study
invaluable for understanding the administrative procedures, the
powers, and the limitations of the administrative presidency.
Robert Shanley opens with a brief overview of how presidents have
affected conservation policy in the first part of the century and
then discusses the more complex environmental policymaking in
recent administrations. Focusing on the Reagan administration, he
shows how it controlled the flow of agency information and the
gathering of statistical data to curb agency policy and
enforcement, and then traces the reaction of Congress and the
Federal Courts to these initiatives. He demonstrates how
presidential executive orders may significantly affect
environmental policy and then contrasts different perspectives of
the Carter and Reagan administrations on risk assessment and on
various agency programs. Shanley goes on to discuss Bush's record
and his efforts to work out compromises between environmental and
economic interests. Finally, Shanley posits that administrative
procedures are often counter-productive in the long term. The book
concludes with an overview of the resources at the disposal of
presidents today and the problems confronting national leaders in
initiating and shaping environmental policy.
