U. S. Energy Policy
Bazerman, Max H.
Environment, November 2009, v51, #5, pp22-34
"This article discusses the barriers preventing the U.S. government and its citizens from addressing energy problems despite clearly defined solutions and course of actions. The author notes that the issue of global warming has been recognized for decades but largely ignored by the media, politicians, and citizens. It focuses on how climate change is an energy-related problem whose relevance to enacting wise policies range across a variety of issues. He draws on the September 11, 2001 terrorists attacks as an example of human failure to act in time to prevent a catastrophe that he believes was foreseeable and cites the creation and implementation of policy recommendations that require an anticipation of change and the development of strategies to overcome barriers to action."
In addition to being the Straus Professor at the Harvard Business School, Max Bazerman is formally affiliated with the Kennedy School of Government, the Psychology Department, and the Program on Negotiation.
