Today, the work of government often involves coordination at the federal, state, and local levels as well as with contractors and citizens’ groups. This process of governance across levels of government, jurisdictions, and types of actors is called intergovernmental relations, and intergovernmental management (IGM) is the way work is administered in this increasingly complex system. Leading authority Robert Agranoff reintroduces intergovernmental management for twenty-first-century governance to a new generation of scholars, students, and practitioners.
Crossing Boundaries for Intergovernmental Management takes one on a journey into the matrix of federalism to examine the evolution of management in intergovernmental relations. Agranoff synthesizes a large body of theory and research to illuminate the increasing reliance on the cross-sectoral delivery of publicly funded services. The book also offers practical guidance on public-private collaboration that will be valuable for on-the-job public servants as well as scholars and students. The volume is a worthy successor to the scholarship of Elazar and Wright.
