      abstract = {Policy evolution was characterized by Charles Lindblom  three decades ago as "fragmented, disjointed  incrementalism. " He argued incrementalism made the best  use of very limited theory and data upon which to base  decisions. This was a maj or intellectual challenge to the  advocates of comprehensive planning based upon scientific  principles and analysis. The result has been further  research on how to achieve effective strategic policy  innovations. Of special relevance to the Great Lakes has  been recent research stimulated by the prospect of global  climate change. We combine it with the results of a seminar  that has simulated the application of ecosystem planning to  the Great Lakes, and use the synthesis to illustrate that  the prerequisites for nonincremental decision making are  slowly being achieved. Suggestions are made to speed that  process. KEY TERMS: Environmental Management, Great Lakes,  policy Development, Comprehensive planning,  Intergovernmental Relations.},
