Abstract: | ![]() This paper examines the implementation mandates and experiences associated with two intergovernmental regulatory policies, one at the federal-state level and the other a t the state-control level. The policies are the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and the Florida Growth Management Act of 1985. These experiences suggest that implementation mandates, a t least with respect to intergovernmental regulatory policies, are not as effective as logic and rational argument might dictate. |
