Description

This scholarly work examines how government-by-proxy and intergovernmental relations shape foster care public administration across the United States. Drawing on detailed case studies from Delaware, Michigan, New York, and Rhode Island, the author combines rigorous methodology with theoretical frameworks to identify conditions under which foster care outcomes improve. The analysis reveals a critical tension in federal policy: increased performance measurement of state programmes paired with reduced federal funding and minimal guidance for states navigating complex administrative challenges. Essential reading for public administration professionals, policymakers, and researchers seeking to understand the structural barriers and opportunities within America's foster care system.

Key Features

The Politics of Foster Care Administration focuses on government-by-proxy arrangements and their effects on state programme delivery.

The book combines rigorous research methodology with theoretical work to analyse intergovernmental relations in public administration.

Addresses the disconnect between federal performance measurement expectations and declining federal funding for state foster care programmes.

Published by Routledge as part of the Research in Public Administration and Public Policy series.
