ABSTRACT
The implementation of environmental policy is multifaceted. Specifically, the major focus to date for public administration and policy scholars is to examine how the interactions between front-line regulators and the regulated affect the implementation of environmental policy. These investigations are often examined through the regulatory enforcement styles of regulators or the compliance motivations of the regulated. Yet, what is missing from this research is a focused study about the role women play in the implementation of environmental policy. As a result, Chapter 6 focuses on: what is it like to be a woman on the front lines of environmental regulation? A gender analysis framework is used to examine a collection of stories from women on the front lines of environmental regulation as a case example for this chapter. The chapter concludes with a public sector training exercise for faculty and students to explore as a semester-long project.
