State legislators are constantly making tradeoffs between changing
taxes and providing public services. Not only must they reconcile
their own policy preferences with the preferences of their
constituents, but they must consider the impact of actions taken by
both the federal government and competing states. Glenn Beamer uses
a series of in-depth case studies in eleven states to show how
legislators made decisions dealing with taxation, economic
development, education financing, and Medicaid.
Beamer identifies six factors that influence legislators'
decisions: accountability, dependability, equity, obscurability,
and horizontal and vertical transferability. Within the context
created by citizen demands, intergovernmental politics, policy
histories, court interventions, and state constitutions, this study
analyzes how legislators employ these principles to develop and
enact policies.
In addition to modeling state politics within the context of
federalism, "Creative Politics," reflecting the author's extensive
interviews with legislators, is novel in its focus on politicians'
views about public services, the strategies to finance them, and
efforts to develop and maintain political support for them.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political
science, economics, and public administration, and, more
specifically, of federalism, state politics and policy, and
legislative decision-making.
Glenn Beamer is Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in Health Policy
Research, University of California, Berkeley, and Assistant
Professor of Government, University of Virginia.
