Revising the usual distinction between developmental and redistributive policies, I suggest that state and federal governments each seek programs they believe will help them gain their developmental goals. But there is little consensus on the types of welfare programs that actually do create economic development. State and federal participants in welfare reform consequently promote the kind of federal arrangements that are likely to produce the policies they favor. The developmental politics of the Family Support Act of 1988 are shown through five main reform issues: child support; national minimum benefits; transitional benefits; welfare for families having both parents present; and education, training, and employment programs
