Public authorities are an increasingly important form of government
in the United States. Every year, various public policies are
entrusted to public authorities for implementation in the manner of
a private firm but for the public interest. This edited collection
presents an in-depth examination of the theory and practice of
public authority administration and the current issues confronting
public authorities in general. Cases are provided to invite
discussion about the uses of authorities in different policy areas.
The book begins with an introduction that reviews the premises that
underlie the public authority concept and describes the policy
activities and administrative organization of authorities. The
first section of the book focuses on the external and internal
techniques used to hold authorities accountable. The second section
describes various financial issues relevant to authorities,
highlighting ways to improve the security of bonds and providing
cases showing how corporate subsidiaries are used to finance
projects. The third section explores innovative uses of authorities
in the areas of economic development, low-income housing creation,
social problem-solving, and hazardous waste disposal. The final
section considers the impact of public authorities, using economic
impact analysis to measure quantitative benefits of one specific
authority and probing the problems in evaluating performance in one
state. The book concludes with a selected bibliography and a name
and subject index. The book is a useful resource for courses in
public administration, public policy, management, state and local
government, urban planning, public finance, and political science.
