A Happy Combination? Great Interests, Particular Interests, and State-Federal Conflicts over Public Lands
This article analyzes recent developments regarding public lands and their management, focusing on state demands to gain control over federal lands and controversies over national monument designation and the legality of monument reductions. I place recent conflicts over public lands in historical context and show that they are, for the most part, nothing new. Since the 1890s, when the first forest reserves (now national forests) were established…

Biocentric Public Administration
Biocentric public adminstration is an interesting, yet troubling idea. The notion of biocentrism and its resultant subordination of human interest and values to the intrinsic values of nature raises problematic questions for democratic public administration, the discretionary judgment of public administrators, and the role of science in the biocentric regime. The article uses several of the western wildfires of 2000 for insights, reviews the Cons…

The National Park Service (NPS) found itself under severe criticism for what popularly became known as its let bum policy, a policy that was perceived as allowing the unchecked destruction of the world's oldest national park. As the snows of winter put out the fires, the media turned its attention to other matters, but not before reporting various c…
