Title: Learning from leaders
Description: "This book provides detailed analyses of the political rationales and processes that preceded the federal direction to states to dramatically alter their welfare programs and administrative systems. It discusses implementation choices as well as difficulties and successes in carrying out those decisions. The book also analyzes the role of political parties, interest groups, foundations, think tanks, and academics in setting agendas and formulating policy.

The book features chapters describing and analyzing welfare reform, both their development and implementation, in five states - Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin."--BOOK JACKET.
