Promoting Pragmatic Risk Regulation: Is Enforcement Discretion The Answer?, Clifford Rechtschaffen
Promoting Pragmatic Risk Regulation: Is Enforcement Discretion The Answer?, Clifford Rechtschaffen
Publications
Over the past decade and more, there has been a sustained attack on our nation's approach for regulating environmental, health and safety risk. Critics have argued that the current system is inefficient, irrational, and overly rigid and have proposed a raft of solutions for improving our regulatory approach, most prominently greater reliance on cost-benefit analysis. In Risk Regulation at Risk: Restoring A Pragmatic Approach, Professors Sidney Shapiro and Robert Glicksman offer a strong, coherent defense for our current system for environmental, health and safety regulation based on the long-standing philosophical tradition of pragmatism. Their book persuasively documents how risk-based statutes …

Thirty years after the passage of the Clean Water Act, how can we strengthen enforcement of the CWA, increase rates of compliance, and move closer to achieving the statute's un-derlying objectives?

In particular, this analysis will explore the environmental justice concerns of Cuba's emerging tourist infrastructure. Second, the article will examine both practical and theoretical efforts to include claims for freedom of access to environmental benefits under the environmental justice rubric. The article will both examine the relevance and lessons of those efforts for Cuba and do so with reference to notions of liberty rather than equality-the standard principle on which environmental justice claims are advanced. This section will conclude …

Los Angeles' Cornfield: An Old Blueprint For New Greenspace, Paul Stanton Kibel
Publications
This article begins with an historical survey of the Los Angeles River. Next, it considers the implications of a comprehensive 1930 park plan for Los Angeles. The 1930 plan was suppressed before it was published but is now being revived. The article then turns to the Cornfield, and reviews the activities and people associated with the site. The section that follows recounts the opposition to the Cornfield's reindustrialization, as well as the organizing and law suit that ultimately stopped the proposed manufacturing-warehouse project. The article goes on to deconstruct the deal that initially enabled the Trust for Public Land, and …
