The role of the federal government in managing the thousands of local police departments is very limited. On housing, the absence of affordable housing is largely the result of zoning laws and development decisions made at the local level.

Anzia also contributes to our knowledge about how interest groups function generally and giving us an important perspective on the too-often stepchild of political science, local politics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Local government $z United States $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Public interest groups $z United States. 650 0 $a Police administration $z United States $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Economic development $z United States $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Housing policy $z United States $x Citizen participation. 650 6 $a Administration locale $z Etats-Unis $x Participation des citoyens. 650 6 $a Groupes de defense de l'interet public $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Police $x Participation des citoyens. $z Etats-Unis $x Participation des citoyens. 650 6 $a Developpement economique $z Etats-Unis $x Participation des citoyens. 650 6 $a Logement $x Participation des citoyens. $z Etats-Unis $x Participation des citoyens. 650 7 $a Economic development $x Citizen participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901788 650 7 $a Housing policy $x Citizen participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962435 650 7 $a Local government $x Citizen participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001310 650 7 $a Police administration $x Citizen participation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068549 650 7 $a Public interest groups. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01750275 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012515.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDBC6558EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
