摘要：
Strategies of environmental protection in the U.S. are undergoing significant change. Emphasis is shifting from measures of productivity to measures of environmental quality; from pollution abatement to pollution prevention; from a traditional enforcement mentality to a more creative risk-identification and problem-solving orientation. These shifts in the organizational culture and strategies of U.S. environmental protection agencies have profound effects on the nature of the relationships between federal and state agencies, and upon the kind of information support required. This study examines the State/EPA Data Management Program, a major and nationwide initiative to transform the style of information management within the environmental community. In particular, this study tests the extent to which this initiative serves the emerging strategies, and its effect on interagency cooperation.
