THE TERMINATION OF BEACH EROSION CONTROL AT CAPE HATTERAS

In: Public policy, Band 27, Heft 1, S. 99-127

Abstract

ONCE A PUBLIC POLICY IS ESTABLISHED, THE IMPLICIT OR EXPLICIT COMMITMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTINUE THAT POLICY MAKES TERMINATION DIFFICULT; THIS CASE STUDY ILLUSTRATES HOW ONE COMMITMENT THAT WAS PERCEIVED TO BE EXPLICIT WAS ANNULLED. THE CASE SUGGESTS CERTAIN GUIDELINES FOR A SUCCESSFUL POLICY TERMINATION.
