In answer, environmental groups became more specialized and professional, learning how to affect policy change through the courts, states, and federal agencies rather than through grassroots movements. Without a significantly mobilized public and with a generally uncooperative Congress, presidents since the 1990s have been forced to step into a new role of increasing presidential dominance over environmental policies. Rather than working with Congress, instead presidents have employed unilateral actions such as executive orders to get environmental legislation passed. Presidential Administration and the Environment offers a detailed examination of the transformation of policy networks and the shift in strategies and tools used by US presidents to get environmental legislation passed. Using primary sources from presidential libraries such as speeches and staff communications, David M. Shafie is able to analyze how presidents such as Clinton and Bush have used alternative executive approaches to pass environmental policies. From there, Shafie uses a number of in-depth interviews with interest group leaders and agency personnel to form the basis of his case studies in land management, water policy, toxics, and climate change. He analyzes the roles that both executive leadership and environmental advocacy groups have played in passing policies within these four areas, explains how these roles have changed over time, and concludes by investigating how Obama's policies compare thus far with those of his predecessors. Shafie's combination of qualitative content analysis and topical case studies offers scholars and researchers alike important insights for understanding the interactions between environmental groups and the executive branch and its implications for future policy-making in the United States"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 145-155) and index. 505 00 $t Managing chronic gridlock. $t Greening the administration -- $t Managing the commons -- $t Water quality -- $t Toxic communities -- $t Climate change -- $g Conclusion: $t Managing chronic gridlock. 546 $a Text in English. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Executive power $z United States. 650 0 $a Executive-legislative relations $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmental law $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmentalism $x Political aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Environmental Policy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Environmental law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913122 650 7 $a Environmental policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913250 650 7 $a Environmentalism $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913548 650 7 $a Executive-legislative relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917874 650 7 $a Executive power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917857 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=9780415626668 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091146.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014128.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826100534.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20151209013539.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=57D1A1D29E4611E5BE1287DFDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
