Collective Action and the Evolution of Intergovernmental Cooperation
Voluntary cooperation among governments holds tremendous promise for solving policy problems with regional and national scope. In this article, we apply insights from the theory of institutional collective action to understand the evolution of cooperative governmental institutions. We address the question: What makes a government decide to exit an existing cooperative arrangement and join a new one with a stronger central authority? Our empirical…
Policy Innovativeness and Interstate Compacts
Are someAmerican states inherently more innovative than others? This question has confounded researchers for more than four decades. In this study we develop a measure of collective policy innovation that measures formal cooperative policy arrangements among the states, compare the measure to existing measures of internal state policy innovation, and assess whether existing innovativeness measures explain policy cooperation among the states. This…
Blurring Borders: The Effect of Federal Activism on Interstate Cooperation
Interstate compacts are an increasingly important policy tool available to states, one that allows them to tackle regional and national issues. What effect does policy activity at the federal level have on state participation in interstate compacts? Drawing on theories of functional federalism, the authors explore the possibility that a state’s response to federal activism varies across policy domains. For economic policy the authors hypothesize …
Governors Turn Pro: Separation of Powers and the Institutionalization of the American Governorship
This study examines the institutional development of governors’ offices. Pooled analyses from 1983 to 2004 indicate that government growth and workload foster institutionalization, as does rivalry with the legislature. Bargaining relationships with external actors appear to have more limited impact. The authors also find that the dispersion of authority within the executive branch plays a significant role in explaining the development of institut…
Strength in Numbers: Why States Join Interstate Compacts
Interstate compacts hold tremendous promise for resolving tough public problems at the subnational level. They have also been promoted as one way that states can protect their sovereignty vis-à-vis the national government. But the rate at which states participate in such compacts varies widely. Thus, we ask: What explains a state's propensity to join national interstate compacts? Using time-series cross-sectional event count models of state compa…
The State of American Federalism, 1994–1995
Federalism, as a concept and as a reality, received assistance from a variety of sources during 1994–1995. Opinion polls revealed a public strongly supportive of shifts in the balance of power between federal and state governments. The new Republican-controlled Congress, bent on devolving authority to the states, busied itself with an ambitious legislative agenda. The Democratic President pursued his principles of federalism and intergovernmental…

Implementing Environmental Policy in a Federal System: A Test of the Sabatier-Mazmanian Model
Implementation research has been impeded by a variety of conceptual and methodological difficulties, some of which this articles hopes to remedy. It examines the regulation of hazardous waste in the fifty states and, using the conceptual framework developed by Sabatier and Mazmanian, identifies the factors that inhibit policy implementation. The authors focus specifically on the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and find that state i…
Dimensions of State Government Capability
POLITICAL system performance depends to a great extent on institutional capacity. As a result, institutions are the objects of continuous attempts at reform and modernization. These transformational efforts are undertaken to attain the somewhat nebulous goals of improvement and capacity building. The frequency, comprehensiveness, and impact of these exercises are likely a function of the larger political context. The last twenty years have found …

Intergovernmental and Intersectoral Tensions in Environmental Olicy Implementation: The Case of Hazardous Waste
Superfund-the federal government's program to clean up toxic waste sites-was designed to promote cooperative interaction between levels of government and w ith the private sector. Implementation of the program has, produced a web of tensions instead. The tensions have been intergovernmental and intersectoral. As this examination of the cleanup of four South Carolina sites reveals, these tensions have served to delay and distort the implementation…
Hazardous Wastes, Politics, and Public Policy: A Comparative State Analysis
growth, industrial expansion, and technological change upon environment. One of major public policy issues to emerge recently is concern over public health and safety associated with (chemical) wastes. Dramatic incidents, such as kepone dumping James River, Valley of Drums incident Kentucky, and damage apparently caused by Love Canal chemical disposal sites, have served as catalysts mobilizing public interest responsible management of wastes. The…
