| Research Abstract |
This research provides certain degree of knowledge in the theory and practice of environmental policy coordination under NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969) in the U.S.. Since 1970, such coordination has occurred under the so-called NEPA system, in which CEQ (Council on Environmental Quality), a central environmental agency located at the top level of the federal government, has played an important role in managing policy conflicts among federal agencies. To have a firm grasp of overall functioning of CEQ under NEPA will be useful for Japanese government which has no institutional mechanism for environmental policy coordination at its highest level.
