Changing Priorities and Programs in Toxic Waste Policy: The Emergence of Economic Development as a Policy Goal

This article examines recent changes in toxic waste policy in the United States.

Examples include a shifting of program authority to the states, a modification of traditional command and control program structures, and perhaps most important, the adoption of economic development as a core program goal.
