Government-by-proxy and intergovernmental relations profoundly
affect the public administration of foster care. Using examples
from foster care systems in the states of Delaware, Michigan, New
York, and Rhode Island, Rebecca Padot eloquently combines a
rigorous methodology and theory work to expose the conditions under
which foster care outcomes can be improved. The cases selected
suggest that the federal government has increased its focus on
measuring the performance of state programs while simultaneously
decreasing its funding of state foster care programs and offering
the states very little management or mentorship. Padot turns the
page and recommends administrators place a greater priority on
building community partners, integrating the advice of mentors,
providing leadership from public managers, and cultivating
relationships with the federal government. An original and timely
resource for scholars and practitioners, this book represents a
significant contribution to our understanding of how leadership and
management variables may be associated with more positive foster
care practices and performance in the United States.
