Description

Explore the complex relationship between government-by-proxy and intergovernmental relations in this academic study. Rebecca Padot examines how these dynamics affect the public administration of foster care systems across the United States. By analyzing specific case studies from Delaware, Michigan, New York, and Rhode Island, the book provides a detailed look at the conditions necessary to improve foster care outcomes. This research highlights a significant tension in current policy: the federal government is increasing its focus on measuring state program performance while simultaneously reducing funding and providing limited support to state programs. This book is an essential resource for those studying public administration, public policy, and the structural challenges facing social welfare systems. It combines rigorous methodology with theoretical work to expose the realities of how state and federal interactions shape the lives of children in the foster care system.
