By analyzing spending, regulatory, and tax policies, surprising differences are found in the goals and policies of the Nixon and Reagan ideologies. Nixon sought to use federalism reform as a means of diffusing governmental activism and improving governmental performance. Reagan, in contrast, used federalism reform initiatives to challenge government activism at every level. Conlan relates these developments to theories of the modern state and to the future of American federalism. No bibliography. Also available in paper, $15.95.

As initiatives of the Reagan-Bush era indicate, the states - not the federal government - will determine the development of new policies and programmes to respond to America's social ills in the 1990s and beyond. This book provides a study of state governors' responses to the new federalism.

The New Federalism investigates whether returning a variety of regulatory and police powers back to the states will yield better government. It poses the provocative question, Can the states be trusted? and emerges with a qualified yes. This book should be an invaluable resource to federal and state policymakers alike.
