**Case Study: Fiscal Federalism Assignment**

Define the fiscal federalism model and provide a scholarly paper concerning the advantages and disadvantages of fiscal federalism to U.S. states and local governments.

**Case Study: The Supreme Court, Federalism, and Public Administrators Assignment**

Christensen and Wise (2009) state,

[t]he U.S. Supreme Court has come to play an important role in articulating that system of rules. The Supreme Court’s federalism decisions are especially important in understanding what powers public managers [must] achieve policy priorities in the current context of devolved government.

For this
**Case Study Assignment,** you will provide a scholarly paper concerning the effect of recent Supreme Court decisions on public administration and federalism.

**Case Study: The U.S. Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations Assignment**

In 1959, Congress created the U.S. ACIR as a 26-member bipartisan federal commission to give continuing attention to intergovernmental problems (Pub. L. No. 86-380, 73 Stat. 703).  On October 1, 1996, its authority to carry out the purposes stated in its Congressionally authorized legislation “sunset.”

Some scholars have called for its re-creation while others have mentioned it served little purpose. For this Case Study Assignment, you will provide a scholarly paper for your support or denial of the re-establishment of the U.S. ACIR.

**Case Study: NASA Collaborative Transformation Assignment**

During and before the Apollo program years at NASA, it was the primary government organization involved in all space technology decisions. Since the Space Shuttle Program, NASA has been reinvented. It transformed from a closed system with a hierarchy that develops its technologies internally, to an open and collaborative network that promotes innovation and collaboration with other public and private organizations. NASA has become more interdependent.

Using the Moon to Mars Mission (Artemis-Orion), describe this new collaborative approach at NASA.

**Case Study: Congressional Clean Lakes Task Force Assignment**

Dr. McGinnis was involved in the Clean Lakes Study at Lake Allatoona, Georgia and facilitated the creation of a collaborative network of federal, state, regional, and local agencies, and organizations to guide the study.  This effort was nationally recognized model of intergovernmental management promoted throughout the U.S. by the U.S. EPA.

Analyze the collaborative effort as a model of intergovernmental management.  Use only peer reviewed sources including articles from journals, textbooks, theses/dissertations.  Including 8-10 sources not including your Biblical analysis.

**Case Study: Federal/State/Local Collaboration Networks in Disasters Assignment**

Address each of the following questions related to federal-state-local collaboration during disasters.

1. Should there be national goals and strong federal direction, as during the period of “creative federalism,” or greater flexibility for state and local officials to target funds and efforts where they feel there is the greatest need?

2. What would happen if the federal role in emergency management was simply reduced to providing financial support?

3. How likely is it that state representatives will address the state’s major hazards without federal encouragement?

4. What are the advantages of developing local capabilities to reduce hazards? How likely is it that local officials will address risks to life and property without outside funding and support?

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
