Adventures in the Classroom and Our Nation's Capital chronicles my career as a social studies teacher. Starting in Connecticut and upstate New York, you will read the struggles of a young teacher learning his craft in diff erent public and private, rural, suburban, and small town schools while also searching for meaning in America and American history. After arriving in northern Virginia, I immediately took advantage of nearby Washington, DC, for…

The Implications of Policy Stability for Renewable Energy Innovation in the U nited S tates, 1974–2009
Government support and commitment are of particular importance for renewable energy technology innovation activities, which are highly contingent on policy and market uncertainty. The research focus of this article is to examine the relationship between policy stability in public resource allocation and policy outcomes in renewable energy technologies. With time‐series cross‐sectional analyses, we test effects of both the stability and magnitude …
Explaining national environmental performance: Approaches, evidence, and implications
Sustainability as a Conceptual Focus for Public Administration
This article argues that sustainability should define the conceptual focus for the field of public administration in the coming decade. Sustainability involves three systems: environmental, economic, and political/social systems. The challenge of governance, and thus of public administration, is to sustain each of these systems on its own while maintaining an appropriate balance among them. The article defines the sustainability concept, and its …
The Role of Information in Environmental Governance
Environmental Policy As Learning: A New View of an Old Landscape
Environmental policy in the United States has always been characterized by high levels of political conflict. At the same time, however, policy makers have shown a capacity to learn from their own and others' experience. This article examines U.S. environmental policy since 1970 as a learning process and, more specifically, as an effort to develop three kinds of capacities for policy learning. The first decade and a half may be seen in terms of t…
Innovation in U.S. Environmental Policy: Is the Future Here
Although the need for environmental protection is generally accepted in the United States, there is debate over what form environmental policies should take. The articles in this collection offer a variety of perspectives on the need for policy innovation to deal with the challenges of the future. Their common themes are the need for bottom-up problem solving, the value of nonregulatory approaches, the importance of citizen participation, the use…
Regulatory Policy and the Consensus Trap: An Agency Perspective
Regulatory agencies in the United States have relied increasingly on consensus-based decision processes to build public support for their policies. If they are well-designed and managed effectively, consensus-based processes may increase support for an agency’s policies and enhance its institutional legitimacy. But poorly-designed processes may lead to a consensus trap, in which an agency commits to making decisions based on a consensus the parti…
Strategies for Regulatory Reform: Forward Compared to Backward Mapping
Most efforts to reform regulation have relied on a forward mapping strategy, which views policy design and implementation from the top down. The limited success of many such reform efforts suggests the need for an alternative approach, based on a backward mapping strategy. The advantages of such a strategy are that it brings affected stakeholders into the process of designing and implementing reforms; proceeds incrementally to build a consensus f…
Can Problems Shape Priorities? The Case of Risk-Based Environmental Planning
Citizen Participation and Environmental Risk: A Survey of Institutional Mechanisms
Standard approaches to defining and evaluating environmental risk tend to reflect technocratic rather than democratic values. One consequence is that institutional mechanisms for achieving citizen participation in risk decisions rarely are studied or evaluated. This article presents a survey of five institutional mechanisms for allowing the lay public to influence environmental risk decisions: public hearings, initiatives, public surveys, negotia…
Regulatory Negotiation as a Policy Process
Regulatory negotiation is a process of policy formulation that brings representatives of affected interests together to reach consensus on the content and sometimes the language of a proposed rulemaking. Its use in environmental policy reflects a trend toward resolving controversies through consultation, mediation, and negotiation rather than through litigation or other forms of institutional confrontation. In Resolving Environmental Disputes, Ga…
Judith A. Layzer, Open for Business: Conservatives’ Opposition to Environmental Regulation (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2012)
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
