Abstract
  • The Corps of Engineers is in a position to dominate the formulation and implementation of public policy at a given local level. The position is based on the Corps' capability to influence the decision-making process through the exercise of force by means of eminent domain procedures, the assumption and demonstration of legitimacy, and by the control of information and manipulation of relationships at the local level. The conflict over the proposed construction of a dam at Days Creek, Oregon, illustrates the organization of the Corps' position in the face of local citizen resistance to the construction. Study of the conflict indicates a need for substantial change in the Corps' position in order for local citizens participation in water-resources development to become demonstratively meaningful.
