  摘要：This research tests the theory of active representation in welfare offices. Relying on a model developed by Saltzstein, the research examines the linkage between social origins and attitudes or values, which are critical antecedents to actions and, ultimately, to policy outcomes. Survey data from eleven welfare offices across four states are relied upon to test for this linkage.
• Devolution, fiscal federalism, and changing patterns of municipal revenues: The mismatch between theory and reality AI翻译

  摘要：Theories of fiscal federalism, such as those propounded by Musgrave, Tiebout, and Brennan and Buchanan, prescribe assignment of revenue sources among federal, state, and local governments. in this article, we demonstrate that the recent diversification of municipal revenue sources in response to devolutionary forces does not follow the expectations of the fiscal federalism theories. Our analysis suggests that the use of an institutional approach to the study of fiscal federalism would help to ...

  摘要：The devolution revolution was a central issue in American intergovernmental relations in the 1990s. Judgments about the outcomes of intergovernmental policy changes varied among scholars of American federalism. Some argued that intergovernmental relations shifted substantially in the direction of devolution toward the states in the 1990s. Others were skeptical about the existence or degree of devolution during the decade. This essay examines shifts in state-national relations during the 1990s....
• Solidary and functional costs: Explaining the presidential appointment contradiction AI翻译

  摘要：How is it possible for presidents to secure real influence from political appointees if these individuals spend so little time on the job before leaving government service? Many empirical studies have noted that once appointees have learned how to do their job and have come to trust the civil servants in their agencies, they are ready to leave these posts. Yet this suggests a dysfunctional bureaucratic structure that apparently does not exist, for many studies also tell us that these same poli...
