As a result, attempts to create new regulatory programs or mend under-performing ones are often poorly designed. 'Reorganizing Government' explains how past approaches have failed to appreciate the full diversity of alternative approaches to organizing governmental authority. The authors illustrate the often neglected dimensional and functional aspects of inter-jurisdictional relations through in-depth explorations of several diverse case studies involving securities and banking regulation, food safety, pollution control, resource conservation, and terrorism prevention. This volume advances an analytical framework of governmental authority structured along three dimensions-centralization, overlap, and coordination. Camacho and Glicksman demonstrate how differentiating among these dimensions better illuminates the policy tradeoffs of organizational alternatives, and reduces the risk of regulatory failure. The book also explains how differentiating allocations of authority based on governmental function can lead to more effective regulation and governance. The authors illustrate the practical value of this framework for future reorganization efforts through the lens of climate change, an emerging and vital global policy challenge, and propose an "adaptive governance" infrastructure that could allow policy makers to embed the creation, evaluation, and adjustment of the organization of regulatory institutions into the democratic process itself Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from cover image (University press scholarship online, viewed March 20, 2020) Subject Administrative agencies -- United States -- Reorganization Decentralization in government -- Law and legislation -- United States Interagency coordination -- United States Delegated legislation -- United States Federal government -- United States.
