"[A] wonderful book. Durant's opus is a must read for scholars, policy practitioners, and students of government and organizational behavior." -- Review of Policy Research, "The book is a powerful case study of an institution (the military) with a long and storied history of how that institution responded to change." -- Public Organization Review, For those who may have formed impressions of the Pentagon's progress, or lack thereof, in becoming greener, this highly readable and accessible book is an indispensable resource., "[The] insight, organization, and analytic rigor of Durant's book could not be clearer or more compelling. This is an important and well crafted piece of high-quality scholarship. Anyone with an interest in environmental policy and or organizational change will learn a great deal from this work." -- Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory

Synopsis
By the Cold War's end, U.S. military bases harbored nearly 20,000 toxic waste sites. All told, cleaning the approximately 27 million acres is projected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars. And yet while progress has been made, efforts to integrate environmental and national security concerns into the military's operations have proven a daunting and intrigue-filled task that has fallen short of professed goals in the post-Cold War era. In The Greening of the U.S. Military, Robert F. Durant delves into this too-little understood world of defense environmental policy to uncover the epic and ongoing struggle to build an environmentally sensitive culture within the post-Cold War military. Through over 100 interviews and thousands of pages of documents, reports, and trade newsletter accounts, he offers a telling tale of political, bureaucratic, and intergovernmental combat over the pace, scope, and methods of applying environmental and natural resource laws while ensuring military readiness. He then discerns from these clashes over principle, competing values, and narrow self-interest a theoretical framework for studying and understanding organizational change in public organizations. From Dick Cheney's days as Defense Secretary under President George H. W. Bush to William Cohen's Clinton-era-tenure and on to Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon, the battle over "greening" the military has been one with high-stakes consequences for both national defense and public health, safety, and the environment. Durant's polity-centered perspective and arguments will evoke needed scrutiny, debate, and dialogue over these issues in environmental, military, policymaking, and academic circles., In The Greening of the U.S. Military, Robert F.

Cleaning the approximately 27 million acres is projected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars. This work delves into this world of defense environmental policy to reveal the struggle to build an environmentally sensitive culture within the post-Cold War military., Durant explores the epic and ongoing struggle in the post-Cold War period to build a corporate sense of responsibility within the U.S. military for ensuring that its day-to-day operations promote national security without compromising public health, safety, and the environment. As the Cold War drew to a close in the George H.W. Bush administration, U.S. military bases harbored nearly 20,000 toxic waste sites, covering nearly 27 million acres of contaminated property. Then-Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney launched an initiative to incorporate good environmental actions into the daily business of defense. Durant's chronicle of the struggle between the military and environmental proponents--which drew in members of Congress, the presidency, state governments, environmental interest groups, and affected citizens--reveals how difficult instilling a resistant military with a green ethic has proved to be. Durant analyzes the dynamics of the efforts to hold the military accountable to environmental and natural resources laws in such matters as base cleanups, pollution prevention, natural resources management, and chemical weapons demilitarization. He scrutinizes the patterns of politics and strategies used by the key players and develops a framework for studying large-scale organizational change in the public sector. This rich story draws implications for intergovernmental regulation, organizational change, national security, and environmental politics.
