State Municipal Associations as Intermediaries in Service Learning
Service-learning courses help students to identify career opportunities and foster civic engagement, but links to projects with local governments may be difficult to forge.

Using original su…

After explaining the importance of understanding local governance in Canada and the United States in comparative context, the ICA framework is used to highlight propositions along two paths of inquiry. First, the ICA framework can be used to compare responses to ICA dilemmas in two di…

This case study inv…

At times, local politicians are described as barriers to interlocal cooperation; however, recent studies show elected officials are active in interlocal networks and harbour diverse motivations for their involvement in interlocal politics. This research introduces institutional role theory to the study of interlocal politics. Using a survey of elected officials in the San Francisco Bay Area, support for various roles in interlocal politics are as…

International Connections for Local Government Sustainability Initiatives: Networks Linking Detroit and Windsor
How do international border cities interact with one another about sustainable development? Existing research suggests international networks play a role in linking cities in a global dialogue about sustainability.

This research suggests both perspectives on networks can inform the study of how i…
The Problem of Democratic Anchorage for Interlocal Agreements
More attention must be given to the performance of interlocal agreements (ILAs) as they continue to grow in popularity as a mode of service provision in U.S. cities. This study scrutinizes the democratic performance of ILAs, drawing theoretical insights from the literature on network governance. Because ILAs shift service responsibility from individual cities to multijurisdictional arrangements, these tools may lead to complaints about the respon…
Guiding Regionalism and Reform from the Court: Judge John Feikens
For decades, federal district court judges have been deeply involved in the reform of state and local government agencies. Some scholars describe such a judicial role in institutional reform as “managerial.” This profile examines the managerial role of Judge John Feikens, who, since 1977, has supervised the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department's attempts to comply with federal laws on wastewater treatment and water quality. Through his sustained…

Governing Interlocal Cooperation: City Council Interests and the Implications for Public Management
Local government managers are described as key participants in the development of interlocal cooperation, but the interests of city councils in this process have gone largely unstudied.

Three propositions identify areas of shared council‐manager responsibility. Evidence from in‐depth interviews with city council members is …
Information, Activation, and Electoral Competition in the 2002 Congressional Elections
Although uncompetitive races for the House of Representatives produce formidable challenges to long-held democratic ideals regarding popular control and meaningful citizen involvement, little is known regarding the significance of variance in district-level competitiveness for the perceptions and behaviors of voters.
