Politics and the Environment
Test #2 (make-up)
Directions: If you missed the test for a reason that is acceptable to the College Office (or if you made pre-arrangements with me), you can take it as a take-home. It is open book and notes, and graded as a paper. Honor code applies, of course. Answer all questions, typed, approximately two pages per question, double-spaced. Put it in my mailbox in 327 Tarbutton (the main office). If you did not already make approved pre-arrangements with me for taking this exam as a take-home, include a cover sheet that has the reason why you needed to miss the exam, and a copy of any official document backing it up (such as a letter from the Health Center, coach of the Emory team you are on, etc.) Time: 24 hours after you begin the exam.
1. Describe the difference between command and control vs. market-based strategies for pollution control. Be specific and give examples. Be sure to describe the pros and cons of each. Why is the market-based approach not universally applied?
2. Explain The Du Pont Corporation's political strategy for rapidly phasing out chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) in favor of HCFC's and HFC's in advance of the deadlines specified by the Montreal Protocol. How does this correspond with DuPont’s previous behavior regarding toxic waste disposal? Give specifics. What lesson can we draw from the history of Ducktown, Tennessee that relates to Du Pont’s case?
