Drawing on the history of state and local government in the New
York Tri-State metropolitan region, the authors present a
pathbreaking new theory about the values reformers must understand
and balance in order to tackle the hard challenges of reforming and
regionalizing local governance in the complex, dynamic world of
American politics and public policy. Their examination of the way
2,179 local governments in the Tri-State region have evolved over
more than a century pays special attention to New York City, but is
applicable to other metropolitan areas. It brings to life ideas
that are crucial to a subject that in the academic literature is
often treated in a way that is abstract and hard to grasp. This is
a valuable book for scholars, political leaders, and students
interested in regionalism in metropolitan America and in the
fascinating history and governance of the nations largest city and
its vast metropolitan region.
