Contents Notes | This book compares public policy performance across both state and national levels, explaining why state agencies excel at economic outputs and profitability, the management of land with state income in mind--while national agencies are stronger in citizen participation and the inarguably important role of environmental protection. Instead of focusing on historical development of federal-state roles or on state officials as affected by national policies, the author shows how officials, when given authority, both make and implement policy at the state versus the national level. |
