This research considers regionalism over efficiency and effectiveness for delivering of public goods and services in U.S. metropolitan areas. There are conflicts between localism and regionalism for delivering of public goods and services in U.S. metropolitan areas because the regions are composed of many competitive and overlapping local governments. Even though public choice theorists argue that the local government competition of U.S. metropolitan areas brings markets efficiency to public service delivery, the metropolitan regions are under considerable pressure to integrate delivery of public goods and services with efficiency and interregional equity. Regionalists argue that the highly political fragmentation of U.S. metropolitan regions makes equitable and efficient delivery of public goods and services difficult because economic competitiveness is undermined by local fiscal inequality (Frug, 1998; Warner & Hefetz, 2002). Therefore, this study explores the problem of political fragmentation of U.S. metropolitan areas, regionalism, and the case of Chicago regional governance for enhancing delivery of public goods and services on effectiveness and efficiency. These findings have encouraged additional research that helps clarify and understand the importance of regional governance for cooperating or coordinating the local governments with the highly political fragmentation of U.S. metropolitan areas.
Abstract
This research considers regionalism over efficiency and effectiveness for delivering of public goods and services in U.S. metropolitan areas. There are conflicts between localism and regionalism for delivering of public goods and services in U.S. metropolitan areas because the regions are composed of many competitive and overlapping local governments. Even though public choice theorists argue that the local government competition of U.S. metropolitan areas brings markets efficiency to public service delivery, the metropolitan regions are under considerable pressure to integrate delivery of public goods and services with efficiency and interregional equity. Regionalists argue that the highly political fragmentation of U.S. metropolitan regions makes equitable and efficient delivery of public goods and services difficult because economic competitiveness is undermined by local fiscal inequality (Frug, 1998; Warner & Hefetz, 2002). Therefore, this study explores the problem of political fragmentation of U.S. metropolitan areas, regionalism, and the case of Chicago regional governance for enhancing delivery of public goods and services on effectiveness and efficiency. These findings have encouraged additional research that helps clarify and understand the importance of regional governance for cooperating or coordinating the local governments with the highly political fragmentation of U.S. metropolitan areas.
