From New Federalism to Devolution: Twenty-Five Years of Intergovernmental Reform
"Conlan tells the most important story about American government in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s -- that of efforts to reform and reduce the federal government's role. He indicates how these attempts succeeded, how they failed, and why. This book is essential reading for any expert in or student of our nation's policies and politics." —David Beam, Illinois Institute of Technology
