In this book, Professor McGarity reveals the complex and
problematic relationship between the "regulatory reform" movements
initiated in the early l970s and the United States' federal
bureaucracy. Examining both the theory and application of
"regulatory reform" under the Reagan administration, the author
succeeds in offering both a relevant analysis and critique of
"regulatory reform" and its implementation through bureaucratic
channels. Using several case studies from the early Reagan years,
this book describes the clash of regulatory cultures resulting from
the President's attempt to incorporate "regulatory analysis" into
the bureaucratic decisionmaking process. McGarity examines the
roles that regulatory analysts and their counterparts in the Office
of Management and Budget play in decisionmaking by offering
hundreds of interviews with scientists, engineers, regulatory
analysts and upper level personnel in federal agencies. The author
then critiques the reformers' claim that regulatory analysis will
result in "better" decisionmaking. Yet while McGarity recognizes
the limitations of regulatory analysis, he concludes with
suggestions for enhancing its effectiveness. This book could be
used not only as a textbook for political science and government
courses but also for graduate applications in public policy and
public administration.
