About the Book

A “wicked problem” isn’t one with an evil nature, but a problem that is impossible or difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often hard to recognize. Classic examples of wicked problems include economic, environmental, and political issues. We now live in a world full of wicked problems, most of them urgent challenges calling out for creative, democratic, and effective solutions. Ed Weber, Denise Lach, and Brent Steel, of the Oregon State University School of Public Policy, solicited papers from a wide variety of accomplished scholars in the fields of science, politics, and policy to address this challenge. The resultant collection focuses on major contemporary environmental and natural resource policy issues, and proposes an assortment of alternative problem-solving methodologies to tackle such problems.

About the Author :
Edward P. Weber is the Ulysses G. Dubach Professor of Political Science in the School of Public Policy at Oregon State University. He has published widely on natural resource/environmental policymaking, policy implementation, democratic accountability, and the design and operation of alternative decision-making and governance institutions, particularly collaborative governance arrangements. He also is the Chair of the Committee for Family Forestlands for the Oregon Department of Forestry and the former leader of the Thomas Foley Public Policy Institute. Denise Lach is Professor of Sociology and Director of the School of Public Policy at Oregon State University. Her research focuses on the role of science and scientists in natural resources policymaking, including finding ways to visualize data to effectively communicate results. Her interdisciplinary research and teaching engages scholars, students, and decision-makers from fields as diverse as nuclear engineering and salmon biology. Brent S. Steel is Professor and the Director of the Graduate Program in the School of Public Policy at Oregon State University. He has published numerous journal articles, book chapters and books concerning public policy in areas such as forestry, rangelands, endangered species, coastal and marine issues, environmental issues, sustainable development, and the politicization of science.
