Description

Michael J. DeLor focuses on how the operation and regulation of private electric utilities has become complicated and contentious in the United States in part because of environmental impact. As a consequence, Congress rarely passes substantive economic-based legislation dealing with the topic, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as the primary federal economic regulator of private electric utilities, must often act without clear legislative guidance. Review . . . Using a series of narrative case studies--the OPEC oil embargoes of the 1970s, the Gulf War (1990-91), and the California electricity crisis (2000-01)--DeLor (political science, Univ. of Texas, Rio Grande Valley) provides a very detailed, area-specific study of the regulation of private electric utilities. The book is well sourced and will provide scholars in this area of research with a new way of looking at and explaining the policy process. . . DeLor has taken on a difficult task, and he carves out new theoretical space. Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers, faculty, professionals.-- "Choice" Dr. DeLor's Public Policy Black Box offers an insightful and timely consideration of the inner mechanics of America's electric utility regulatory structure. It persuasively identifies why we have only seen spurts of federal regulatory reform and how FERC has operated within the political tensions that oversees its operations.--Adam Fremeth, Ivey Business School In Inside a Public Policy Black Box, DeLor skillfully guides readers through the complex, contentious, and volatile policy dynamics that surround federal regulation of private utilities in the United States, traversing rolling blackouts, soaring electric bills, pitched congressional debates, and a regulatory agency often caught in the middle. Along the way, he spotlights ongoing conflict between "free-market conservatives" and "environmental movement liberals" as they shift between policy stasis and efforts to address sporadic crises in the operation and regulation of an industry that provides almost three-quarters of U.S. electric generating capacity. Grounded in diverse scholarship and rich empirical detail, Inside a Public Policy Black Box introduces a theory of punctuated entropy to help explain when and how Congress responded to focal crises. Punctuated entropy accounts as well for the frequent inadequacy of those responses in a complex and controversial policy arena that utilities and governments struggle to oversee, manage, and operate.--Karen M. Hult, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University About the Author Michael J. DeLor is lecturer at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
