The literature on interlocal sustainability has acknowledged that the resources and authority of state governments influence the collaborative sustainability policy actions of local governments. However, there is an absence of empirical evidence that shows how this influence varies across the environmental protection, economic development, and social equity pillars of sustainability. This study uses data from a 2015 national survey of U.S. cities to shed light on the connection between state-level interventions and regional partnerships across the three primary sustainability policy dimensions. With an understanding gleaned from the concept of contested federalism, this analysis employed Bayesian techniques to examine how state fiscal support for sustainability, along with fiscal and functional decentralization in state systems, affect municipal collaborative policy efforts. The findings suggest a positive link between supportive state-level endeavors and local-level collaborations. However, state influences can have different implications across the three pillars of sustainability.
关于地方间可持续性的文献已经承认,州政府的资源和权威会影响地方政府的协作可持续性政策行动。然而,缺乏经验证据表明,这种影响在环境保护、经济发展和社会公平的可持续性支柱中是如何变化的。本研究使用了2015年美国城市全国调查的数据,揭示了州一级干预措施与三个主要可持续发展政策维度的区域伙伴关系之间的联系。通过对有争议的联邦制概念的理解,本分析采用贝叶斯技术来研究州财政对可持续性的支持,以及州系统中财政和职能的分散,如何影响市政合作政策的努力。研究结果表明,国家层面的支持性努力与地方层面的合作之间存在积极联系。然而,国家的影响可能对可持续性的三大支柱产生不同的影响。

We examine local government response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States utilizing a unique dataset created by the National League of Cities. The most common action by local governments was changing administrative procedures and implementing policies aimed at prevention or “flattening the curve”. The general public was the most common population target. In addition to detailing the most common local action types, policy areas, and population targets, we analyze local response based on the autonomy granted to local governments by states. We expected local governments with greater levels of autonomy would have a greater level of response; however, some local governments did not ‘behave’ as expected based on their degree of policymaking autonomy granted by state governments. Some states with higher levels of autonomy enacted relatively few local actions in response to the pandemic, whereas some with little autonomy engaged in considerable activity to address COVID-19.
我们利用全国城市联盟创建的独特数据集研究了美国地方政府对COVID-19大流行的反应。地方政府最常见的行动是改变行政程序和实施旨在预防或“平坦曲线”的政策。普通大众是最常见的人口目标。除了详细说明最常见的地方行动类型、政策领域和人口目标外,我们还根据各州授予地方政府的自治权分析了地方政府的反应。我们预计,地方自治程度越高,反应越强烈;然而,一些地方政府并没有像预期的那样“表现”出来,因为他们被赋予了国家政府的决策自主权。一些自治权较高的州在应对大流行方面采取的地方行动相对较少,而一些自治权较低的州则参与了相当多的活动来应对COVID-19。

An Antiracist Index for State Level Assessment 国家层面评估的反种族主义指数
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-03-24 DOI: 10.1177/0160323X221089639

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified white supremacists as the most lethal threat in America. White supremacy is a system rooted in racist policies and ideas that produce and normalize racial inequities. Combatting white supremacism thus requires identification and promotion of antiracist policies, actions, and systemic changes. This study constructs an Antiracist Index comprised of 15 indicators to assess the degree to which American states exhibit antiracist conditions across political, economic, and cultural dimensions. Indices are rank-ordered for all 50 states, from Very High to Very Low scores. Results demonstrate that three indicators—self-defense laws, gun ownership, and support for Black Lives Matter—primarily impact both high and low ranking states. The Antiracism Index thus serves as an exploratory assessment tool which enables state-by-state comparisons, identification of antiracist indicators, and the ability to monitor changes in racism and antiracism moving forward.
2020年,美国国土安全部将白人至上主义者确定为美国最致命的威胁。白人至上是一种植根于种族主义政策和思想的制度,它产生并使种族不平等正常化。因此,打击白人至上主义需要识别和促进反种族主义政策、行动和系统性变革。本研究构建了一个由15个指标组成的反种族主义指数,以评估美国各州在政治、经济和文化方面表现出的反种族主义状况的程度。所有50个州的指数按从非常高到非常低的分数排序。结果表明,三个指标——自卫法、枪支所有权和对“黑人的命也重要”的支持——对排名高和低的州都有主要影响。因此,反种族主义指数是一种探索性评估工具,可以对各国进行比较,确定反种族主义指标,并有能力监测种族主义和反种族主义的变化。

Accountability and Collaboration for Intergovernmental Performance Management: Communicating Goals through the HUD Grantmaking Process 政府间绩效管理的问责制和协作:通过住房和城市发展部拨款过程沟通目标

This paper presents an exploratory case study of a performance-based intergovernmental grant program, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) homeless assistance grants to local Continuums of Care (CoC). The goal is to illuminate the mechanisms by which a federal agency may communicate its priority goals to local grant recipients and seek to promote local actions that further those goals. The mixed-methods case study finds that meeting HUD performance targets does not lead to larger awards in the competitive grant process, casting doubt on the strength of incentives provided by the competitive grants. Nevertheless, the grant making process plays an important role in communicating federal priorities. The system performance metrics emphasized in the grant process coupled with targeted technical assistance appear to promote a focus on performance at the local level and play a role in system reform and capacity building.
本文介绍了一个基于绩效的政府间赠款计划的探索性案例研究,该计划是美国住房和城市发展部(HUD)向当地护理连续性组织(CoC)提供的无家可归者援助赠款。目标是阐明联邦机构可以通过哪些机制向当地赠款接受者传达其优先目标,并寻求促进当地行动,以推进这些目标。混合方法案例研究发现,在竞争性拨款过程中,达到住房和城市发展部的绩效目标并不会带来更大的奖励,这让人们对竞争性拨款提供的激励力度产生了怀疑。尽管如此,拨款过程在传达联邦优先事项方面发挥着重要作用。赠款过程中强调的系统绩效指标,加上有针对性的技术援助,似乎促进了对地方一级绩效的关注,并在系统改革和能力建设中发挥了作用。

Performance Management Research for State and Local Government: Where It Should Go Next 国家和地方政府绩效管理研究:下一步该怎么走
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-03-04 DOI: 10.1177/0160323x221084751

Considerable research on performance management at all levels of government, including state and local, has been published in recent years. Much of this work has attempted to describe or explain various aspects of the performance management phenomenon, including conditions associated with adoption, the motives and reactions of various actors, and perceptions about success or failure. This is research about performance management in state and local government. A smaller set of research, because it addresses in a utilitarian way the performance management options of state and local government practitioners, comprises the subset of performance management research for state and local government. Performance management researchers could perform a great service for state and local government if a larger portion of their research tested the efficacy of performance management in the public sector and, if efficacy is confirmed, identified the factors associated with its success.
近年来,包括州和地方政府在内的各级政府对绩效管理进行了大量研究。这项工作的大部分都试图描述或解释绩效管理现象的各个方面,包括与采用相关的条件、不同参与者的动机和反应,以及对成功或失败的看法。这是关于州和地方政府绩效管理的研究。一组较小的研究,因为它以实用的方式解决了州和地方政府从业者的绩效管理选择,包括州和地方的绩效管理研究子集。如果绩效管理研究人员的大部分研究测试了公共部门绩效管理的有效性,并且如果有效性得到证实,确定了与绩效管理成功相关的因素,那么他们可以为州和地方政府提供良好的服务。

Understanding why cities are leaders in data-driven local government can help diffuse best practices to support better decision-making and improve government services. This study surveyed US local government professionals and generated a new practitioner-led definition of data-driven local government and it identified the opinion leader cities viewed as exemplars in their use of data. To our knowledge, this study is the first practitioner-generated definition of data-driven local government and the first depiction of a local government network of data-driven efforts.
了解为什么城市是数据驱动的地方政府的领导者,可以帮助传播最佳实践,以支持更好的决策和改善政府服务。这项研究调查了美国地方政府专业人士,并提出了一个由从业者主导的数据驱动的地方政府的新定义,并确定了被视为数据使用典范的意见领袖城市。据我们所知,这项研究是第一个由从业者生成的数据驱动的地方政府的定义,也是第一个对数据驱动工作的地方政府网络的描述。

This observational study of local government coordination brings fresh assessment of institutions and processes of District Coordination Committees (DCCs) in facilitating horizontal coordination across local governments and vertical coordination between federal, provincial, and local governments in Nepal. Necessary qualitative data – observational notes, interview transcripts and selected official publications – were generated based on researcher's two year's professional experience at the DCC in a remote district of Rasuwa in Nepal. Analysis is conducted in line with what John Halligan (2020) has explained as analytical elements of horizontal and vertical coordination. Findings suggest that although DCCs seem less effective local institutions in fostering both horizontal and vertical coordination, they are increasingly providing the most plausible avenues for politicians, administrators, and ordinary people to get together in materialising the constitutional thirst to implement cooperative federalism in Nepal.
这项关于地方政府协调的观察性研究对地区协调委员会(dcc)的机构和流程进行了新的评估,以促进尼泊尔地方政府之间的横向协调以及联邦、省和地方政府之间的纵向协调。必要的定性数据- -观察笔记、访谈笔录和选定的官方出版物- -是根据研究人员在尼泊尔拉苏瓦偏远地区的DCC的两年专业经验编制的。分析是按照John Halligan(2020)所解释的水平和垂直协调的分析要素进行的。研究结果表明,尽管地方机构在促进横向和纵向协调方面似乎效率较低,但它们越来越多地为政治家、行政人员和普通民众提供了最合理的途径,使他们能够在尼泊尔实现宪法对实施合作联邦制的渴望。

Declining Civility and Growing Political Violence at the Local Level: A Threat to American Democracy 地方文明程度的下降和政治暴力的增长:对美国民主的威胁
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-03-01 DOI: 10.1177/0160323X221089945
V. Williams, Jacob Gottlieb, Tina R. Lee
Over the last few years, the American polity has abandoned civility and increasingly resorted to anger, vitriol and violence rather than dialog to share their problems and express differences. Dr. Michael McCullough, a psychology professor at the University of Miami, argues civility is crucial for maintaining orderliness in a society wherein the absence of civility there is anarchy and disorder — resulting in a broken society (Gutierrez 2018). In a 2019 survey, 93 percent of Americans identified incivility as a problem and 68 percent as a major problem (Shandwick 2019). Local officials work at the level of government most connected to the people they serve, and with that comes great honor but also great challenge. In today’s hostile political climate, local officials have been increasingly exposed to uncivil incidences that have escalated into harassment, threats and violence (Table 1). A recent report by the National League of Cities (NLC) indicated that 81 percent of surveyed local public officials have experienced harassment, threats and violence, with social media, other online forums and city meetings (in-person or online) being the most common venues local officials endure this behavior (Anthony et al. 2021). NLC also reported that 87 percent of surveyed local public officials have observed an increase in attacks during their time in office (Anthony et al. 2021). Multiple local officials surveyed by NLC anecdotally shared that while harassment, threats and violence had been heightened for a few years, this behavior got dramatically worse since the start of the pandemic (Anthony et al. 2021). The harassment, threats and violence local officials endure most commonly manifests online or at public meetings (Anthony et al. 2021). In Georgia, Karen Watkins, Gwinnett County School Board’s vice chair, received threats during a public meeting in May over the school board’s masking requirements where she was told that her constituents “are coming for [her]” (Kamenetz 2021). However, these incidences have increasingly moved from city and town halls to the front lawns of local officials. Also in Georgia, two local election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss were pressured to make false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. After refusing to lie, a far-right media outlet spread conspiracies about the two women that resulted in a mob surrounding their house (Szep and So 2021). While many local leaders believe that the surge in harassment, threats and violence they
在过去的几年里,美国的政体已经抛弃了文明,越来越多地诉诸愤怒、尖刻和暴力,而不是通过对话来分享问题和表达分歧。迈阿密大学心理学教授迈克尔·麦卡洛博士认为,文明对于维持社会秩序至关重要,在社会中,缺乏文明就会出现无政府状态和混乱,从而导致社会破裂(Gutierrez 2018)。在2019年的一项调查中,93%的美国人认为不礼貌是一个问题,68%的人认为这是一个主要问题(Shandwick 2019)。地方官员在与他们所服务的人民关系最密切的政府一级工作,这带来了巨大的荣誉,但也带来了巨大的挑战。在当今充满敌意的政治气候下,地方官员越来越多地暴露于不文明事件中,这些事件已升级为骚扰、威胁和暴力(表1)。全国城市联盟(NLC)最近的一份报告表明,81%的受访地方公职人员经历过社交媒体的骚扰、威胁和暴力。其他在线论坛和城市会议(面对面或在线)是当地官员忍受这种行为的最常见场所(Anthony et al. 2021)。NLC还报告称,87%的受访地方公职人员在任职期间发现攻击事件有所增加(Anthony et al. 2021)。NLC调查的多名地方官员轶事地分享说,虽然骚扰、威胁和暴力已经加剧了几年,但自大流行开始以来,这种行为急剧恶化(Anthony et al. 2021)。地方官员遭受的骚扰、威胁和暴力最常在网上或公开会议上表现出来(Anthony et al. 2021)。在佐治亚州,格威内特县学校董事会副主席凯伦·沃特金斯(Karen Watkins)在5月份的一次公开会议上因学校董事会的蒙面要求而受到威胁,她被告知她的选民“正在为[她]而来”(Kamenetz 2021)。然而,这些事件越来越多地从城市和市政厅转移到地方官员的前草坪。同样在格鲁吉亚,两名当地选举工作人员鲁比·弗里曼和万德里亚·莫斯受到压力,谎称2020年总统选举中存在选民欺诈。在拒绝撒谎后,一家极右翼媒体传播了关于这两个女人的阴谋,导致一群暴徒围住了他们的房子(塞普和So 2021)。尽管许多地方领导人认为,骚扰、威胁和暴力事件的激增

A recent report by the National League of Cities (NLC) indicated that 81 percent of surveyed local public officials have experienced harassment, threats and violence, with social media, other online forums and city meetings (in-person or online) being the most common venues local officials endure this behavior (Anthony et al. 2021). NLC also reported that 87 percent of surveyed local public officials have observed an increase in attacks during their time in office (Anthony et al. 2021). Multiple local officials surveyed by NLC anecdotally shared that while harassment, threats and violence had been heightened for a few years, this behavior got dramatically worse since the start of the pandemic (Anthony et al. 2021). The harassment, threats and violence local officials endure most commonly manifests online or at public meetings (Anthony et al. 2021). In Georgia, Karen Watkins, Gwinnett County School Board’s vice chair, received threats during a public meeting in May over the school board’s masking requirements where she was told that her constituents “are coming for [her]” (Kamenetz 2021). However, these incidences have increasingly moved from city and town halls to the front lawns of local officials. Also in Georgia, two local election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss were pressured to make false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. After refusing to lie, a far-right media outlet spread conspiracies about the two women that resulted in a mob surrounding their house (Szep and So 2021).
