Streams of toxic and hazardous waste disparities, politics and policy
Nearly three decades ago, research on the location of hazardous waste landfills rattled US environmental policy institutions. This chapter describes a policy process framework that helps describe the historical intersections of toxic and hazardous waste disparities and environmental justice (EJ) policy developments in the US. It reviews a second wave of EJ research emblematic of the politics of policy formation. The chapter discusses the consolid…
States of Environmental Justice
In the 20 years since a president committed federal government agencies to achieving environmental justice (EJ), states have been at the forefront of policy development. But states have varied in the nature and extent of their EJ efforts. We use Guttman Scaling to measure state EJ effort and test hypotheses regarding the relative importance of problem severity, politics, and administrative variables to variation in state policy development. Our a…
Skewed Riskscapes and Gentrified Inequities
Objectives. Few studies have considered the sociohistorical intersection of environmental injustice and gentrification; a gap addressed by this case study of Seattle, Washington. This study explored the advantages of integrating air toxic risk screening with gentrification research to enhance proximity and health equity analysis methodologies. It was hypothesized that Seattle's industrial air toxic exposure risk was unevenly dispersed, that gentr…
The Limits of Civic Environmentalism
Two key components of civic environmentalism are the devolution of policy control of environmental policy from the federal government to states and localities and the increase of local citizen participation in policy decision making. Using a combination of case studies and interviews, the authors suggest that devolution of policy making and policy implementation may not increase the role of citizens. Rather, due to both the participatory mechanis…
State and Local Opportunities in Environmental Policy
Since 1970, much of state and local activity in environmental protection involved implementing or enforcing national mandates. Recent developments in the United States suggest that some subnational jurisdictions have taken and are taking significant steps to address local environmental problems within, and beyond, national mandates. This suggests that there may be opportunities for state and local governments to address emerging local environment…
