David M. Shafie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Chapman University.
"In Presidential Administration and the Environment, David M.
Shafie uses data from presidential libraries, executive orders, and
interviews with key interest group leaders and agency staff to
examine largely unexplored questions about how presidents use
executive authority to advance their environmental policy agendas
in the face of persistent legislative gridlock. This is an
original, perceptive, and significant assessment of executive
leadership in public lands management, water policy, toxic
chemicals, and climate change, with particular attention given to
the presidencies of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack
Obama."
—Michael E. Kraft, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
"Presidential Administration and the Environment is a comprehensive
review of environmental policy in a constantly changing and
combative political landscape. In an easy-to-read analysis, David
M. Shafie not only reviews the past twenty years of environmental
policymaking but also provides valuable insights for future
strategies in dealing with critical environmental issues of our
time."—Michael P. Dombeck, Chief of the U.S. Forest Service,
1997-2001 & Director of the Bureau of Land Management,
1994-1997"The book is well written and relatively easy to
understand. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division
undergraduate collections and above." -- CHOICE, B. W. Monroe,
