description: Hamilton (U. of Southern Maine) uses a cross-national comparative analysis of coal development policies and environmental policies in the US and Indonesia to show how political culture and institutions affect policy structure and implementation at the convergence of these two related policy areas. In both countries, he finds, public policies are enacted on a piecemeal and incremental basis, to solve particular problems that are salient at the time they are considered.
