There are many types and forms of regional government agencies.
These include regional planning commissions, council of
governments, regional advisory committees, regional allocation
agencies, and special purpose regional agencies. Even so innovative
approaches to regional government and cooperation among
general-purpose local governments are relatively recent phenomena.
The first section of this volume provides the reader with a
comprehensive introduction and overview to the field of regional
government in general, and of recent regional government
innovations throughout the nation in particular. The second section
provides 25 case studies that examine outstanding examples of
public and nonprofit initiatives and programs that promote regional
government throughout America. The final section studies current
trends in regional governance, the evolving role of regional
councils, and the regional challenges posed by increased global
competition. A directory of regional and national resource
organizations dealing with regional government as well as a
comprehensive annotated bibliography are included at the end of
this volume.
