Managing Regulatory Reform: The Reagan Strategy and Its Impact

by Marshall R. Goodman, Margaret T. Wrightson

Overview

In his 1982 State of the Union address, Ronald Reagan vowed to returban power to the states. Rather than take the more traditional route, he chose to instill the new federalism through intergovernmental regulatory relief. This book assess the policy's success and the problems it has caused. The book is based on several cases studies from different policy areas. Intergovernmental relations, nuclear energy policy, and environmental policy are discussed in detail. The authors have drawn extensively on public documents as well as interviews with members of congress, executive department officials, and those involved with special interest groups.
