In a contemporary and comprehensive analysis of politics and public policy in the

American West, Clive Thomas makes the case that one of the most significant factors

driving the policy-making process in the West is the marked rise in the

intensity of conflict between urban and rural areas. More importantly, Thomas specifically

links this rural-urban tension to environmental issues. He argues that

environmental and quality of life issues are likely to be the most significant factors

facing policy makers as the Intermountain West continues to urbanize. Using counties

as the unit of analysis, we investigate this rural-urban linkage to environmental

policy making in the state of Idaho. Analysis is based upon both aggregate county

data and a survey of government elites (county officials). Our findings suggest that

critical differences remain between urban and rural areas with respect to concern

for the environment.
