A Roundtable on Intergovernmental Management: From Deil Wright's Construct to a New Era of Federal Aid

Moderator: A.C. Hyde (American University)
Moderator: Eric S. Zeemering (University of Georgia)
Join our facilitated discussion about the current state and future directions of intergovernmental management (IGM) research. Building from Deil Wright's distinction of intergovernmental management from the broader realm of intergovernmental relations, this discussion provides a concise overview of the literature on intergovernmental management before posing a series of questions to the audience about the concept's future importance. The facilitators argue a new generation of IGM research is imperative, considering the cross-border characteristics of contemporary policy challenges and the renewed emphasis on federal intergovernmental aid to achieve policy objectives. This conversation is part of the facilitators' efforts to prepare a new handbook on intergovernmental management, soliciting interest among scholars and practitioners to engage in the next set of critical research questions to understand IGM today.
