{"product_id":"interstate-cooperation-joseph-zimmerman-9780275977566","title":"Interstate Cooperation: Compacts and Administrative Agreements","description":"\u003cp\u003eZimmerman places in perspective the important roles played by interstate compacts and interstate administrative agreements in the governance systems of the United States. Compacts are identified and classified by type. Particular emphasis is placed on federal government promotion of compacts, including the U.S. Congress enactment of federal-state compacts in which the federal government joins member states as partners to achieve stated goals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFormal and informal interstate administrative agreements have increased in number dramatically during the past six decades and relate to both minor and very important issues. Credit for many interstate administrative agreements must be ascribed to associations of state government officers which encourage their members to promote interstate cooperation and also draft model state laws and administrative agreements. Although compacts and agreements have lubricated the functioning of the United States governmental system, as Zimmerman makes clear, the full potential of compacts and agreements has not been achieved to date, and he makes recommendations to improve the level of interstate cooperation. An important resource for scholars and students of American government--federal, state, and local--as well as administrators and policymakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Zimmerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275977560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275977566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 5.80w x 0.98d","brand":"Joseph Zimmerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825824846079,"sku":"9780275977566","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7322c776-a8df-48e4-9951-9eadc4ec020a.jpg?v=1746073734","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interstate-cooperation-joseph-zimmerman-9780275977566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
