The article explores how effective the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has been in analyzing environmental impacts of proposed actions. Despite many studies, there is still limited understanding of NEPA's achievements. The researchers aim to connect environmental impact assessment with social science concepts to predict the effectiveness of environmental review processes. This will help explain why some environmental impact assessments are more effective than others.
