In Environmental Federalism, Luke Fowler helps to refocus
much-needed attention on the role of state governments in
environmental policy creation and implementation in the United
States. While the national government receives most of the
attention when it comes to environmental policy, state governments
play a vital role in protecting our natural resources. Legacy
problems, like air, water, and land pollution, present one set of
challenges for environmental federalism, but new problems emerging
as a result of climate change further test the bounds of federal
institutions. Examining patterns of pollution and case studies from
the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, Fowler explores two
questions: has environmental federalism worked in managing legacy
environmental problems, and can it work to manage climate change?
In order to answer these questions, Fowler extends James Lester's
typology using political incentives and administrative capacities
to identify four types of states (progressive, delayers,
strugglers, and regressives) and assesses how they are linked to
the success of federal environmental programs and conf licts in
intergovernmental relations. He then considers what lessons we can
learn from these programs and whether those lessons can help us
better understand climate policy and multi-level institutions for
environmental governance. This timely read will be a valuable
contribution to students, researchers, and scholars of political
science, public policy, public administration, and environmental
studies.
