Opioid Epidemic in the United States
Really Reforming Health Care in the United States
The health policy community and health-care reform in the US
The failure of comprehensive health-care reform during the Clinton administration (1993-4), has been attributed to many causes: structural features of the American political system, congressional gridlock, interest group opposition, President Clinton and his administration, even the 'system' itself. This article proposes an additional perspective: the views of the health policy community. Based on the work of Kingdon, Heclo and Walker, we suggest…

Assuming the Conclusions: Risk Assessment in the Development of Cancer Policy
This article examines the development of generic cancer risk assessment guidelines, or cancer policy, from 1976-1984. Risk assessment is considered the objective determination of the degree of risk from a substance. Risk management is the subjective determination of acceptable risk. However, uncertainties in the scientific foundations of cancer policy necessitate risk assessment inference choices, for example, over appropriate dose-response extra…
The Misuse of Science in Governmental Decisionmaking
In the 1960s and 1970s, as public awareness of environmental and workplace hazards increased, the U.S. Congress passed extensive legislation to reduce risk from various hazards in the areas of environmental protection, occupational safety and health, and consumer products. And regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) became the locus of decisionmaking in response to this legislation.' The threats posed by technologies…
Technical Disputes: Why Experts Disagree
Disputes among scientists provide policymakers with rationalization for any course of action. These disputes are marked by divergent views of the risks involved in the development of specific technologies. This paper argues that such disagreements are epistemological in nature, which means that "technical" disputes cannot be resolved through mechanisms such as the science court. The case of the herbicide 2, 4, 5-T illustrates the argument

Policy Implications of Alternative Agriculture
This paper suggests that there has been a small shift in American agricultural practices, and more importantly in policy making in this area, toward what can be called organic or alternative agriculture. These policy changes are partially due to triggering devices, exogenous forces that have led to changes in the policy agenda. Two major exogenous factors are reviewed–the energy “crisis” and environmental factors. Both sets of forces have resulte…
