Assessing Consensus: The Promise And Performance Of Negotiated Rulemaking, Cary Coglianese Apr 1997

Assessing Consensus: The Promise And Performance Of Negotiated Rulemaking, Cary Coglianese

Duke Law Journal

Negotiated rulemaking appears by most accounts to have come of age. A procedure that once seemed confined to discussion among administrative law scholars has in the past decade captured the attention of policymakers throughout the nation's capital. Congress officially endorsed regulatory negotiation in the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990, and it permanently reauthorized the Act in 1996.
