Seventeen environmental experts explore the major changes in environmental policy that took place during the first three years of the Reagan presidency. By focusing on the process the administration used to shape its environmental program, the book attempts to answer this question: to what extent can an incoming presidential administration strongly committed to reorienting national priorities achieve substantial policy changes. Following an introduction which establishes a framework for evaluating policy change, the next four parts address the policy environment, changes in policy making procedure, specific changes in six areas, and economic and political evaluations of Reagan's policy changes. Separate abstracts were prepared for the 17 papers selected for the Energy Data Base (EDB) and Energy Abstracts for Policy Analysis (EAPA).
