| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In Washington, the road from legislative intent to policy implementation is paved with politics. As a result, where that road leads often has little to do with where it was meant to go. Take the Export Administration Act, for example. One of its provisions requires the secretary of state to maintain a list of countries that are state sponsors of terrorism so that sanctions can be applied to them. State sponsors are defined as those countries that have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.1 This sounds straightforward, but the way the requirement has been implemented has left countries on the list that should be off and others off that should be on. And in every case it seems politics is the determining factor. |
