Managing Conflict in Facility Siting

Edited by S. H. Lesbirel and Daigee Shaw (shawdg@gmail.com)

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The siting or development of risky facilities, such as nuclear power plants or waste repositories, remains an intractable policy problem for all democratic nations. In this valuable new book, the authors present a comparative study of various siting controversies in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia. They argue that devising effective policies for dealing with siting conflicts will require social learning and changes in both institutional design and policy process.
