Unpacking the Deep State and Regulatory Changes

This chapter examines the evolving concept of the 'deep state' in political discourse, particularly in the context of authoritarian regimes and the United States. It focuses on significant legal cases, such as Chevron vs. NRDC, that shaped environmental regulation and the relationship between federal agencies and corporate interests, culminating in the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Chevron deference. The discussion highlights the broader implications for federal regulations and how various interest groups are reacting to these changes in governance.
