It will explore the legal framework for wilderness preservation in the United States, the implementation of that framework by four competing land management agencies, and issues raised by the effort to preserve natural conditions on public lands. Among the issue areas explored are questions of air quality and visibility; water resource allocation; fauna, flora and fire management; recreational regulation; and Native-American cultural accommodation. A new edition of my Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues is also forthcoming.

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

My current research centers on the breathtaking advances of new medical technologies in recent years which account for the increasing importance of medical technology regulation. Powerful political and economic interests sit on both sides of the negotiating table: the med-tech industry, trade associations and global device companies, as well as regulatory authorities and epistemic communities of experts who serve on advisory committees. While these stakeholder groups pursue their distinct interests, they constitute crucial elements of the medical-industrial complex.

My most recent book appeared in 2009 concerns the efforts of lobbyists in Washington to reframe debates and shows the limits to their ability to do so. I co-direct, with Bryan Jones, the Policy Agendas Project (www.policyagendas.org) and am working with scholars in many other countries now to replicate the project in Canada, Europe, elsewhere, and for the state government of Pennsylvania (www.comparativeagendas.org). I also co-directed the lobbying and policy advocacy project (lobbyla. psu.edu) and am involved in efforts with colleagues in the US and Europe to extend this project internationally as well.

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

My primary research centers on work-family policies and on the wider political, ideological, gender, social, and economic issues surrounding the problems of work-family balance. The first research agenda in the policy area aims at a deeper understanding of why family leave policy in the United States as established by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) has taken on its particular form and substance. This policy is essentially regulatory and private sector-based, providing for unpaid, relatively modest work, family supports compared to those available in most other industrialized countries. Other scholars have examined the reasons for the basic contours of the FMLA, yet in my view these accounts don't fully explain why the policy falls short of adequately addressing the problem of work-family conflict. Women, entry into the paid labor force and developments in women's movements over the twentieth century have played key roles in the rise of work-family conflict and in the emergence of public policies to address this issue. Therefore, I think it is important to bring gender front and center, and to look at how political, institutional, and ideological forces have interacted to create modern-day family leave policy. I have found that the traditional notion of separate work and family roles for men and women has carried forward from earlier public policy approaches to the issue of women, employment to shape more recent debates surrounding the FMLA. This research suggests that in the American context, past policies reinforced the status quo in the area of attitudes about gender. However, I am also examining, in the European comparative context, the capacity of policies entailing the value of gender equality to steer mass attitudes in this direction. Finally, I have just begun to examine an emerging social movement that holds promise as a potential solution to work-family conflict. I have won a small Massachusetts Creative Economy Grant to begin examining the capacity of the cohousing movement, with its general commitment to various forms and degrees of communal living, to address this problem. This study is laying the ground work for a larger, multi-method state-by-state examination of cohousing across the country.

I am also embarking on a long-term, large project that seeks to meld and improve up on the organizational learning and policy learning literatures to develop new theories of policy change.

I examine the strategic considerations that govern these framing decisions, as well as the way in which groups engage in framing contests to control the public image of a problem. I am also interested in how advocacy groups address unique and/or especially difficult policy challenges, such as promoting policy solutions that involve inherent trade-offs, the effect of crisis (as both an opportunity and constraint) on policy advocacy, and the risks and rewards of direct confrontation of one's policy competitors. I explore each of these questions in current side projects.

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

The primary focus of my policy research has been woven around four subtexts: urban land use and economic development, globalization and transportation, public agency management, and policy consequences (agency performance, socioeconomic equity and environmental quality). To date, this work has been reported in five books, over two dozen referred journal articles, and numerous professional conference presentations. In the early period (1970-1985), my principal work was on corporate-inspired development of rural resort/recreation communities, and is best found in the book, Land Use Conflicts (University of Illinois Press, 1982) which examined alternative approaches to government policymaking in dealing with the consequences of rural transformations. In the mid 1980s, my research shifted to globalization and maritime trade. Its principal focus was on public entrepreneurial behavior during the "container revolution" at American seaports. The research is comprehensively reported in the book, Strategic Design and Organizational Change (University of Alabama Press, 1988). In the 1990s, my research interests shifted to urban infrastructure policy with a focus on regional public transit agencies. The research is found in the book, Social Class, Politics and Urban Markets (Stanford University Press, 2002), which examines agency policy outcomes and their consequences for different regional constituencies. It received the 2003 best book in public policy from the Academy of Management. My work since 2003 is on globalization and its value in differentiating American cities. The research is multi-faceted. First, given the inadequacy of "global city" definitions, the research has constructed a theory-driven profile of 7 dimensions to empirically discern global from less-global cities. Work on this has been reported internationally at conferences and is published in the January, 2008 issue of Urban Studies. Second, in work underway, the composite is being used both as a dependent variable dealing with socioeconomic and governmental antecedents of the global city and as an independent variable looking at global-city consequences (i.e., socioeconomic polarization, traffic congestion, environmental sustainability culture and lifestyle).

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

My current research is on various aspects of state politics and policy. I continue work considering the institutional and contextual forces influencing judicial outcomes in state supreme courts. To this end, I am exploring how litigant behavior is shaped by court appellate structure and how this, in turn, influences judicial decision-making. I am also examining the comparative productivity of state supreme courts using production function analysis to assay why courts in similar environments with comparable resources nonetheless produce widely varying numbers of cases. Lastly, following up on my past studies of state economic development, I have written an essay considering commonalities in the process of state development efforts since the American revolution, highlighting the competitive pressures created by federalism that produces a limited search for innovation followed by routine emulation. Development policies commonly exaggerate collective benefits while socializing costs. Initial success in innovation in some states stimulates pressures for emulation in other. Emulated policies yield diminished returns as more states adopt them. Across our history, the political process of mobilizing for economic development has irregularly and rarely been tied to conditions that promote broad-based economic gains.

I am particularly interested in the role that legislative staff (both personal staff and committee staff) play in the policymaking process. I have consulted with various state legislatures regarding application of the BRAC process to education policy. I have also worked in comparative higher education policy vis a vis the optimal structure for public systems including technical colleges, community colleges, baccalaureate/liberal arts institutions, master's-level teaching institutions, and doctoral-level research institutions. I have taught at all levels of public higher education and I have worked in institutional research, assessment, strategic planning, professional development, and accreditation accountability. I am intrigued with the coming collision of worn-out, traditional higher education with innovative, for-profit career education.

These define a new policy agency for urban development: not jobs and subsidies, but consumption and lifestyle is what can attract new residents, keep old ones, and spur development. The arts are the fastest rising organized group, but the least recognized.

My work on the role that academic researchers play in the policy-making process has led me to look at the role which population and public health researchers, advocates and practitioners have begun to play in policy-debates surrounding climate change, as well as the way in which the climate change issue is framed. Gradually my work on public-private partnerships has also begun to evolve towards the issue of climate change. Publicly-owned utilities appear to be increasingly engaging in partnerships with the private sector to deliver green (or greener) energy, rather than allowing these initiatives to develop totally in the public sector. Is this a political decision (an opportunistic form of privatization), or is this a managerial decision (based on competencies and the experimental nature of these forms of power), or a bit of both? Finally my older work on health care policy is continuing with two publications underway on Canadian health politics and policy-making. One looks at the impact of the courts on health policy, the other at the ability of provincial governments to use state financial crises to facilitate policy change in the health care sector.

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

My interest is the architecture of public authority; that is, the forms and practices through which areas of collective concern are governed. I draw on analytical approaches from political science, public administration and organizational analysis to focus on the way that policy is used to shape thinking and practice in the managing of public concerns. I have taken a particular interest in:

--The changing nature of policy work. It is becoming clear that models of the policy process developed in the US may be far removed from the realities of the policy process in other countries (and, perhaps, in the US also). I have edited two collections on the work which makes policy: Policy Work: an International Perspective (Lanham, MD, Lexington, 2006) and Beyond the Policy Cycle: the policy process in Australia (Sydney, Allen and Unwin, 2006), and (co-edited with Robrt Hoppe and Mirko Noordegraaf) Working for Policy, has been accepted for publication by (Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2010.)

--Governance as a heuristic. I have been exploring the way in which the term "governance" is used to identify and explain apparent changes in the practices of governing, and am co-editing a special issue of the journal Policy and Society, to appear in 2011.

--Policy and the Structuring of Health Care

I have taken a particular interest in policy as a construct in use in the field of health care, which is a particularly complex example of the structuring of public authority, and in the place of non-government or quasi-governmental players in the process.

My current research is concerned with policy as an area of specialist practice, the way that people learn to do "policy work," and with the relationship between "policy professionals" and other professionals (such as health professionals).

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

I am currently engaged in two research projects on decision making under uncertainty in different policy contexts. In the first, I serve as Principal Investigator: DRU: Designing Resilience for Communities at Risk: Improving Decision Making to Support Collective Action under Stress. National Science Foundation #0729456,9/1/2007-8/31/2010. In this project, I am working with computer scientists and engineers in an interdisciplinary approach to design a sociotechnical network to detect near-shore tsunami risk in a field study area off the coast of Padang, Sumatra. In the second, I serve as Project Lead Investigator for Arm 4 of a larger project on Public Health Adaptive Systems Studies. Our research arm is developing an electronic dashboard for decision support to managers in public health systems. We are focusing on the interactions among three primary actors: hospitals, Health Departments, and emergency medical agencies. Both projects track the dynamic flow of information through organizations as they seek to coordinate their actions for common goals. With two colleagues, I have edited a book, Designing Resilience: Preparedness for Extreme Events, University of Pittsburgh Press, August, 2010.

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:

I am currently exploring issues in education policy and am continuing my work in American Indian politics and Indian gaming. In regards to education policy, I am interested in issues of political accountability and student success in public colleges and universities, as well as the success of historically disadvantaged groups in particular. My other substantive area of interest concerns federal Indian policy and intergovernmental relations between Native nations and the U.S. federal government. I have also recently been involved in several research projects surrounding public opinion on environmental issues and issues surrounding tribal sovereignty and federal Indian programs in the United States that I hope to continue in the future.
