Panel 1: Is the Whole of Government Greater Than the Sum of its Parts?

During its first hours, the Biden Administration promised a Whole of Government approach to implementing its policies. Ever since, the administration has delivered, with every federal agency using all the tools at their disposal. Through “Interpretations,” “Dear Colleague” letters, guidance documents, employee manuals, litigation, notices of proposed rulemaking, controversial new criteria for cost/benefit analyses, and more, agencies are implementing the administration’s goals regarding “climate change,” “equity,” and other of its priorities. This panel will discuss the many methods the current administration is using to achieve its policy objectives and, where relevant, how they are faring against challenges to their legitimacy.
