The 1988 book rem… Show more

“…While many energy policy actors learn these implications first-hand, the overlapping-authority model provides depth and explanation. Subsequently, Wright's (1988) work on overlapping-authority and subsequent scholarship (Cho, Kelleher, Wright, and Yackee, 2005;Agranoff and Radin, 2014;Burke, 2014) creates important analytical tools for understanding U.S. energy governance in comprehensive terms, by providing a guide to intergovernmental relations in a complex institutional environmental.…”

“…São mais limitados para financiarem suas candidaturas em face de sua menor arrecadação tributária, o que os faz mais cautelosos orçamentariamente. São voltados a responsabilizarem as agências federais pela não adesão aos programas (Pressman, 1975;Downs, 1967;Brendan, 2014). Assim, os formuladores federais ampliam as exigências de acesso aos recursos porque desconfiam das intenções dos prefeitos em aplicá-los adequadamente (Wright, 1988).…”

“…Finally, with rising policy complexity, the “overlapping” model recognizes the entwined authority of national, state, and local governments over various policy arenas. Each level of government plays the principal role on certain issues but coordinates with others in implementation (Agranoff & Radin, 2015; Burke, 2014; Wright, 1988).…”

“…Wright came to describe IGR at this time as contingent collaboration between the federal government and states as needs demanded and goals matched. Conlan (2006) alternatively describes the first decade of the 2000s as “opportunistic.” In many ways, it depended on “where you sat,” and partisan politics in the states played a large role in whether states would revolt, sue, and push back against what was seen as overreach, or whether the state would collaborate and expand on federal initiatives (Burke, 2014).…”
