Description
Summary:This paper explores the political economy of statewide growth management in Oregon. The paper addresses the following issues: 1) What were the political forces in Oregon that produced a statewide effort to manage and control growth? 2) How has the Oregon system of growth management evolved over time and 3) Does the political support for a mature growth management system differ from the political support that fostered its birth? An analysis of these issues offers insights not only into the political economy of growth management in Oregon, but also into the existing and perhaps the future of growth management systems elsewhere.
