Thomas O. McGarity est un éminent universitaire en droit dont les travaux explorent l'intersection complexe du droit administratif, de la science et de la politique environnementale. Il examine de manière critique comment la compréhension scientifique est souvent déformée ou manipulée par des forces politiques et économiques, sapant ainsi les efforts visant à protéger la santé publique et l'environnement. Les recherches de McGarity soulignent les profondes implications de la capture réglementaire et les défis liés à la garantie de l'intégrité scientifique au sein des processus gouvernementaux. Ses écrits plaident constamment pour une plus grande transparence et des cadres juridiques solides afin de sauvegarder le bien-être environnemental.
What do we know about the possible poisons that industrial technologies leave in our air and water? How reliable is the science that federal regulators and legislators use to protect the public from dangerous products? This book shows that ideological or economic attacks on research are part of an extensive pattern of abuse.
Contracts, patents, regulations, disclosures, and legislation are often premised on the foundational assumption that 'more information is better'. These legal programs do not insist, however, that the information and associated communications be comprehensible. This book outlines the problem of incomprehensibility across legal fields and offers suggestions for reform.
"In an original and compelling argument, Thomas McGarity shows how adding populists to the Republican's traditional base of free market ideologues and establishment Republicans allowed Trump to come dangerously close to achieving his goal of demolishing the programs that Congress put in place over the course of many decades to protect consumers, workers, communities, children, and the environment. The book also offers a blueprint for rebuilding the protective edifice and restoring the power of the American government to offer all Americans better lives"-- Provided by publisher

The Role of Regulatory Analysis in the Federal Bureaucracy
The book delves into the intricate dynamics between regulatory reform movements from the 1970s and the federal bureaucracy in the U.S., particularly during the Reagan administration. It provides a critical analysis of how "regulatory analysis" was integrated into bureaucratic decision-making, supported by case studies and interviews with key stakeholders. The author evaluates the effectiveness of these reforms and offers insights for improving regulatory analysis, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in political science, public policy, and administration.

What do we know about the possible poisons that industrial technologies leave in our air and water? How reliable is the science that federal regulators and legislators use to protect the public from dangerous products? As this disturbing book shows, ideological or economic attacks on research are part of an extensive pattern of abuse. Thomas O. McGarity and Wendy Wagner reveal the range of sophisticated legal and financial tactics political and corporate advocates use to discredit or suppress research on potential human health hazards. Scientists can find their research blocked, or find themselves threatened with financial ruin. Corporations, plaintiff attorneys, think tanks, even government agencies have been caught suppressing or distorting research on the safety of chemical products. With alarming stories drawn from the public record, McGarity and Wagner describe how advocates attempt to bend science or “spin” findings. They reveal an immense range of tools available to shrewd partisans determined to manipulate research. Bending Science exposes an astonishing pattern of corruption and makes a compelling case for reforms to safeguard both the integrity of science and the public health.
