Sector Alignments of Regional Councils: Implications for Intergovernmental Relations in the 1990s

Abstract

A resurgence of interest in substate regionalism today has implications for intergovernmental relations in the 1990s. This research analyzes changes in the sector alignments of regional councils as assessed by their executive directors for a 10-year period from 1985 to 1995. It explores the alignments of regional councils to five institutional sectors: the national government, state governments, the regional sector, local governments, and the private sector. The priorities the council directors expect to place on relationships with their state governments and with the private sector increase dramatically. Finally, the lowest sector priorities are placed on relationships with the national government, even though the latter remains the councils' single largest source of fiscal support.
