| dc.description.abstract | Despite the increasing amount of information available to those advising decision-makers about environmental issues, there are many confounding obstacles to its effective application. Likewise, we are all aware of seemingly obvious solutions to conflicts, such as those arising between developers and environmental interests, which are neglected or scorned because of overriding political interests, whether or not these are accurately perceived by those having the authority to determine how resources are used. In this paper the author discusses various pitfalls and dilemmas commonly encountered in the practice of providing environmental consultation to local elected officials, and recommends analytical devices and strategic practices for reducing or avoiding these problems. | en_US |
