The source of vast quantities of fish, shipping lanes, hydroelectric energy, and usable water, they are also increasingly the site of severe environmental degradation and resource contamination. This study analyzes how well governments and other stakeholders are addressing this critical problem. Using original findings from surveys, interviews, and other documents, Mark Sproule-Jones looks at how various levels of government are attempting to restore the environment in the Great Lakes. He examines successes and failures and identifies the kinds of institutions that promote sound decision making, concluding that bureaucracies charged with constructing these institutions often overlook key design principles. This analysis, which clearly demonstrates the need for new rules and institutions to address environmental pollution in the Great Lakes, should be required reading for practitioners, politicians, businesspeople, and environmentalists. 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zGreat Lakes (North America) 606 $aWater$xPollution$zGreat Lakes (North America) 606 $aConservation of natural resources$xGovernment policy$zGreat Lakes (North America) 606 $aLake restoration$zGreat Lakes (North America) 607 $aGreat Lakes (North America)$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aEnvironmental protection 615 0$aWater$xPollution 615 0$aConservation of natural resources$xGovernment policy 615 0$aLake restoration 676 $a333.91/63153/0977 700 $aSproule-Jones$b Mark$f1941-$01655633 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809391003321 996 $aRestoration of the Great Lakes$94008078 997 $aUNINA
