摘要：This essay examines the governance of small towns in the United States. Small towns have received little attention in the public administration literature to date, yet 1 in 10 Americans still lives in one, representing roughly 75 percent of all municipalities in the United States and some 33 million people.

摘要：Academics and policy makers in many Western countries are perceived as occupying separate communities, with distinct languages, values, and reward systems.
