The Cities Do Need Help, Chester Smolski
The Cities Do Need Help, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The lead editorial in the Providence Sunday Journal of December 7, 1986 is completely off the mark and deserves to be answered. The attitude expressed by the writer conveys the specious view that because our nation's cities are not being burned down or torn apart by race riots at the present time then things are not really all that bad in our urban centers."

The Effects On Public Policy Of Center-Local Relations: A Cross-National Study, Dale Krane
Public Administration Faculty Publications
This article attempts a comparative exploration of center-local relationships as part of an effort to test the effect on public policy of concentration and devolution. To pursue these objectives, the research proceeds in two steps: (1) the identification of longitudinal patterns of public sector concentration/devolution among 17 nations and (2) time series analysis of industrial growth and social welfare progress associated with the temporal variation in public infrastructure. The results suggest that a nation's pattern of public sector evolution may be more of a determinant of policy performance than a nation's constitutional framework.

The purpose of the Nebraska Policy Choices series is to improve the basis for making state policy choices. This series tries to enhance Nebraskans' awareness of their many alternatives for steering Nebraska into the future. Each annual volume in the series will provide a forum for considering the major issues facing the state and for identifying the various policy options or choices available to Nebraskans. The goals are to broaden public understanding and to promote informed and responsible choices among alternative policies.
