Evaluating Reagan Federalism, David B. Walker

New England Journal of Public Policy

Reagan federalism, unlike Reaganomics, has achieved far less than was anticipated in 1981. In this article, the extent of real change in the intergovernmental system is gauged by assessing recent intergovernmental developments in light of the time perspective (1980, 1981, and 1987); the relative significance of federalism within the cluster of Reagan political precepts; the interplay of key actors in the national policy process; and the views of state and local officials.

William Monroe Trotter Institute Publications

There are four major objectives of this research.
