Reviews

Hanson and Zeemering gathered 16 essays that examine state-local intergovernmental relations. An opening essay presents the framework for the essays that follow. Readers learn about the challenges of state and local conflicts and how state and local governments may cooperate. The remaining 15 essays are organized into three parts. The six essays in the first part assess the trust many citizens have in local governments; review how the Dillon Rule guides state-local relations; analyze the preemption of local autonomy; look at of the effects of preemption on the work of local government; and compare local government authority across states. Part 2 includes three essays on conflict in state-local relations, and the final part (six essays) considers cooperation in state-local relations, emphasizing sustainability policies, local government transparency, changes in cannabis regulation, and conflict and cooperation during the COVID pandemic. Accompanying each essay are reflective questions and a career profile of a person who works in state-local relations. In recent decades, many state governments have attempted to manage the activities of local governments, and this timely collection sheds light on this power struggle. Highly recommended. Undergraduates through faculty, general readers, and especially practitioners.-- Choice The book effectively tackles state-local intergovernmental relations and management, which can be best described as multi-dimensional and unique to individual states and localities. As one of the few volumes exclusively dedicated to state-local relations, it is particularly helpful in the sense of introducing the reader to the contours of state-local relations as well as explicating why those relationships matter--for the reader and for citizens in general.-- Publius: The Journal of Federalism
