Reviews
Kenneth Hansen has produced an interesting assessment of how states and localitites have increased their institutionalcapacities to deal with the unanticipated consequences of federal downsizing and pollution at military bases in the 1990s. . . . Hansen provides a rich, detailed, and comprehensive history of the base closing processes during the 1990s, highlighted by specific information derived from personal experience, a working knowledge of the policymaking process, and in-depth interviews of key personnel. * Perspectives of Politics *
Hansen shows with great precision the reality of economic development and environmental policymaking in the contemporary American city. This punchy volume should be required reading for all city officials and politicians who believe that building shopping malls and chasing sports teams constitutes the full extent of their responsibilities. -- Andrew Kirby, author of The Pentagon and the Cities
