- Title
Interjurisdictional Agreements in Metropolitan Areas.
- Authors
Friesema, H. Paul
- Abstract
The utility of interjurisdictional cooperative efforts to provide public services within metropolitan areas is reassessed through an examination of interjurisdictional agreements in one middle-size metropolitan area, the Quad-City area of Iowa and Illinois. An extensive, complicated cooperative network is found to exist among jurisdictions, involving important public services. Many of the perceived limitations to voluntary cooperation are seen to be less compelling than much of the literature would indicate.
