The Tainted Desert
For decades, nuclear testing in America's southwest was shrouded in secrecy, with images gradually made public of mushroom clouds blooming over the desert. Now, another nuclear crisis looms over this region: the storage of tens of thousands of tons of nuclear waste. Tainted Desert maps the nuclear landscapes of the US inter-desert southwest, a land sacrificed to the Cold-War arms race and nuclear energy policy

Ozone Partnerships, the Construction of Regulatory Communities, and the Future of Global Regulatory Power
This article describes our effort to understand the Montreal Protocol as an unconventional approach to regulation, one that encourages the construction of volunteer partnerships, episodic networks, and regulatory communities comprised of public and private actors criss‐crossing institutional and national boundaries. We examine three provisions of the Protocol that give official governments and private global corporations latitude to create tempor…
Political Claims, Legal Derailment, and the Context of Disputes
This article is about claims manipulation and the influence of context on the careers and outcomes of disputes. We explore eleven cases in which civil tort action was used when citizen opponents petitioned the government (lawsuits called SLAPPs or "strategic lawsuits against public participation"). Rather than being totally contingent on interactional and situational factors, these disputes followed two general trajectories of transformation, dep…

The Growth Machine, Tourism, and the Selling of Culture
This case study of conflict over land use on the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i examines the tension between a tourism growth machine and the island's residents. Using newspaper accounts, qualitative observations, and a multidimensional inventory of value structures, the authors conclude that the basis of communal association varies among three groups: the growth machine, island residents who want to limit development, and those who favor diverse ty…

This paper describes our examination of SLAPP (strategic lawsuits against public participation) cases where citizens who contact the government are sued by the interests they oppose. We present the findings of a legal document analysis and summarize ongoing research …

A Value-Based Community Assessment Process
It is argued that community quality of life and social impact studies are similar in nature and can be integrated with a common analytical model for conducting community assessments. All such assessments must incorporate the basic values prevailing in the community, as expressed by community leaders and various segments of the population. Community assessments must also include both objective and subjective procedures, as neither approach is mean…
