In Keeping with the Overwhelmingly Pro-Life Sentiment in this State
The early 1970s was a tumultuous time for abortion law and policy in North Dakota where the defeat of an abortion liberalization initiative in 1972 was quickly followed by Roe v. Wade in 1973. The resulting political and cultural circumstances strongly favored the North Dakota Right to Life Association, which saw much of its agenda passed by the legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support. This study uses a political culture perspective to e…
The Rise of the Anti-Abortion Movement in North Dakota and the Defeat of the 1972 Initiative to Liberalize State Abortion Laws
The 1972 abortion-initiative campaign in North Dakota provides an example where elites on one side of an issue were able to provide cues and get supporters to participate in an election while the other side was unable to do so. North Dakota Right to Life through the formation of branch chapters and its work with the Catholic churches became the focus of the anti-initiative campaign. Flush with resources, the NDRL made sure that its supporters tur…
Conflict on the Red River
In reaction to major flooding, local governments in Minnesota and North Dakota formed a cooperative network to construct a $1.2 billion flood diversion along the Red River of the North. Threatened by this diversion, a second set of governments formed their own network in opposition to flood policy. This study uses propositions derived from the Institutional Collective Action framework to examine formal contracts at the core of these cooperative n…
The Reluctant Rise of an Urban Regime
While most research on urban regimes examines cities with effective coalitions between business and government, there is growing recognition that such coalitions are not universal. Rast has suggested taking a multidimensional approach towards power, whereby the social-production model is best suited for understanding cities with strong regimes and the social-control model is more fitting for cities with weak or nonexistent regimes. This study ill…

For a sizeable minority of special districts, the form of district governance is not fully determined by state law. Many states allow the groups who instigate incorporation to decide whether a new district is managed by appointed or elected officials. Such discretion raises the question: why do these actors opt for one form of governance over another? This study uses logistic regression to examine these decisions for a full set of cases and subse…
The Strange Case of the Disappearing Special Districts
The United States experiences thousands of local boundary changes each year, which is important because boundaries determine service delivery, shape economic development, and set the parameters for intergovernmental relationships. Using census data from 1987 to 2002, this study creates a model to account for special district dissolution and disappearance. In addition, it examines whether the immediate characteristics of individual districts are r…
Buyer's Remorse
Burns argues that the creation of local governments is not a politically neutral act. From the 1950s through the 1980s, many governments in the United States were incorporated to provide publicly funded infrastructure for private developments and reduce the tax burdens of manufacturers. Although it is unclear whether or not the factors necessary for the formation of special districts had any impact upon subsequent district policies in either 1972…
City-County Consolidation and Its Alternatives
Regime Approaches to Obscenity Policy
During the 1970s, the governing regimes of both Chicago and Seattle were confronted by sharp increases in the number of adult movie theaters, particularly in their central business districts. Since the traditional means of suppressing such businesses had been declared unconstitutional, these regimes were forced to derive new obscenity policies. The central concern of the Chicago regime was to construct policies that would prevent any further econ…
