This book offers an overview of the legal, political, and broad
intergovernmental environment in which relations between local and
state units of government take place, the historical roots of the
conflict among them, and an analysis of contemporary problems
concerning local authority, local revenues, state interventions and
takeovers, and the restructuring of local governments. The author
pays special attention to local governmental autonomy and the goals
and activities of local officials as they seek to secure resources,
fend off regulations and interventions, and fight for survival as
independent units. Now, in a thoroughly revised second edition,
this book examines marijuana use, minimum wages, the establishment
of sanctuary cities, and the regulation of ride-sharing companies.
Looking at the intergovernmental struggle from the bottom up, and
in the process examining a variety of political activities and
policies at the state level, Berman finds considerable reason to be
concerned about the viability and future of meaningful local
government. This book improves our understanding of the
relationship between state and local governments. It provides a
thoughtful look at the past, present, and possibly the future of
local home rule.
