Is there really a significant difference between networked intergovernmental relations and traditional intergovernmental relations grounded in cooperative federalism?

Meek and Thurmaier Ch. 3-4

Discussion Questions or Topics:

1) Is there really a significant difference between networked intergovernmental relations and traditional intergovernmental relations grounded in cooperative federalism?

2) In what ways does your authors tale of the “education gap” illustrate the potential of networked intergovernmental relations?

3) In part, there are no theories of local government because traditional federalism only concerned the relationship between the states and the national government. Is the concept of metropolitan government an adequate substitute for the absence of a unifying theory of local government?
