New Federalism
Author: Timothy J. Conlan
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
By analyzing spending, regulatory, and tax policies, surprising differences are found in the goals and policies of the Nixon and Reagan ideologies. Nixon sought to use federalism reform as a means of diffusing governmental activism and improving governmental performance. Reagan, in contrast, used federalism reform initiatives to challenge government activism at every level. Conlan relates these developments to theories of the modern state and to the future of American federalism. No bibliography. Also available in paper, $15.95.

Governing the States and the Nation
Author: Mitchel N. Herian
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781604977295
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This book strives to address this gap in the research literature by focusing on the intergovernmental role of the nation's governors. This is done by examining the lobbying efforts of the governors through their national organization, the National Governors Association (NGA). The NGA has been a prominent representative of state interests for a number of decades, and the increasingly complex relationships between the states and the federal government--and the governors' role as manager of those relationships--have ensured that the governors and the NGA remain at the center of many critical national policy debates. Furthermore, the NGA serves as the primary organizing body of the governors, and the organization allows the state executives to effectively exert their influence over important policy decisions at the federal level. For these reasons, the NGA is a most appropriate organization for the study of governors as they work to influence federal policy.Taking a mixed method approach, this study highlights the factors that affect the ability of governors to shape national policy decisions and examines the results in the context of contemporary literature on the governorship, intergovernmental relations, and federalism. This book is therefore ideal for all who are interested in U.S. governorship, intergovernmental relations, and federalism generally.

From New Federalism to Devolution
Author: Timothy J. Conlan
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press
ISBN: 9780815715610
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
In the period from 1970 to the early 1990s, Republican leaders launched three major reforms of the federal system. Although all three initiatives advanced decentralization as a goal, they were remarkably different in their policy objectives, philosophical assumptions, patterns of politics, and policy outcomes. Expanding and updating his acclaimed book, New Federalism: Intergovernmental Reform from Nixon to Reagan (1988), Timothy Conlan provides a comprehensive look at intergovernmental reform from Nixon to the 104th Congress. The stated objectives of Republican reformers evolved from rationalizing and decentralizing an activist government, to rolling back the welfare state, to replacing it altogether. Conlan first explains why conservatives have placed so much emphasis on federal reform in their domestic agendas. He then examines Nixon's New Federalism, including management reforms and revenue sharing; analyzes the policies and politics of the "Reagan revolution"; and reviews the legislative limitations and achievements of the 104th Congress. Finally, he traces the remarkable evolution of federalism reform politics and ideology during the past 30 years and provides alternative scenarios for the future of American federalism.
