“The Environmental Protection Agency is an important book. Drawing on a wealth of original research including primary sources and extensive interviews, Robert McMahon provides the first comprehensive comparative study of the American and British environmental protection agencies with accounts of how they were established, their distinctive institutional and organizational features and their effectiveness. However, McMahon does more than simply analytically narrate these agencies’ origins and work: he develops and persuasively defends a distinct theoretical analysis about these green bureaucracies as types of organizations shaped by their institutional design and internal cultural norms. The result is an original and impressive book which will be of interest of scholars and students of bureaucracy, the environment, and British and American politics. I recommend The Environmental Protection Agency highly.” Desmond King, Mellon Professor of American Government, Oxford University
