Regulating Contested Local Hazards
This article uses focus group data to explore the connection between scientific uncertainty about environmental risks and the emergence of distrust among local populations, regulators, and technical experts affected by those risks. With data from a nationwide study of issues associated with the cleanup of U.S. nuclear weapons facilities, the article uses “dialogue theory” and focus group data from three locations to identify the sources of miscom…
Uncertainty as Environmental Education
Here we focus particularly upon some implications of the symposium articles for future research agendas and priorities in environmental policy. First, however, we return to the central question posed by this symposium: “How can environmental policies achieve a combination of democracy with legitimacy and adequacy with effectiveness under conditions of great uncertainty?” In different ways, all articles addressed this problem in reconciling democr…
Innovation, Learning, and Environmental Policy
The "Environmental Era" arrived in the United States unanticipated, surprising Congress, the White House, and even the emerging environmental movement as much by its form as by its abruptness.The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the first and least anticipated among the many environmental laws that redefined the nation's policy priorities within a decade, was passed on January 1, 1970; it intended nothing less than a reconstruction of na…
The Good Lessons of Bad Experience
New scientific and political realities make it necessary for the United States to continue research and development (R & D) in commercial nuclear power. However, this approach must be based upon a new institutional management structure that recognizes commercial nuclear power as a "Faustian technology," the management of which requires new forms of institutional controls. This new institutional design should involve a government-private consortiu…

One explanation for the apparent failure to achieve these objectives in current programs is that advocates have not based goals on sound empi…
The Politics of Environmental Concern
Explaining the Attitude of Community Influentials Toward Government Consolidation
Prospects for Consolidating Local Government
This study tests five hypotheses that explain the outcomes of referenda on urban governmental consolidation to variations in community elite attitudes and behavior during the campaigns. Data were gathered from elite interviews in Jacksonville, Florida where such a referendum succeeded and in Tampa, Florida where it failed. Findings suggest that successful campaigns are associated with (1) high elite involvement and commitment to consolidation eff…
The Year of Spoiled Pork
On January 19, 1971, President Nixon, catching most White House observers by surprise, issued a terse, 275-word statement halting further construction of the Cross Florida Barge Canal. This was imperative, the President declared, “to prevent potentially serious environmental damages” and was done at the urging of the new Council on Environmental Quality; the Council v/arned that the project “could endanger the unique wildlife of the area and dest…
