  • More about Environmental Agencies in the United States: The Enduring Power of Organizational Design and State Politics

The physical environment, economy, and politics of each state require a tailored approach to environmental enforcement. Elected officials are not the only drivers of environmental policy; environmental agencies and their employees also play a crucial role in day-to-day enforcement decisions. The author of Environmental Agencies in the United States emphasizes the importance of agency structure, organizational norms, and state politics in shaping environmental policy variation and its impact on the health of Americans.

The physical environment, economy, and politics of each state require a tailored approach to environmental enforcement. In some states, industry collaborates with regulators to develop rules that safeguard state economic interests. Conversely, in other states, regulators clash with industry, contending that the cost of accessing clean air and water should be zero. While we have traditionally attributed the leadership of environmental enforcement behavior in the states to powerful legislatures and governors, neglecting the role of environmental agencies and their employees obscures their significant influence in shaping the overall direction of environmental policy through day-to-day enforcement decisions. These decisions involve negotiations with industry or steadfast enforcement actions, profoundly impacting the health of all Americans.

In Environmental Agencies in the United States, the author delves into the specific mandates assigned to environmental agencies and how these mandates shape their understanding of the purpose of environmental enforcement. By examining the importance of agency structure, organizational norms, and the mediating effects of state politics, the author offers a more nuanced explanation of the diverse environmental policy variations that shape the well-being of all Americans.
