The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was an initiative of historic proportions to prop up and stimulate the economy during the Great Recession. There has yet to be a book-length assessment of the ARRA by public administration and public policy scholars. The ARRA had over 200 subprograms that required policy coordination across networks of different levels of government and with nonprofit organizations. The ARRA programs involved either direct spending, grants, or tax credits, and it was a model of transparency and accountability. The scale, complexity, and general success of the ARRA offers lessons for scholars, students, and public managers about the challenges of networked governance, the effects of strong transparency and accountability standards, as well as what types of government intervention were successful and which were not. The authors provide an overview of the ARRA and examine six policy areas in depth. 610 10 $a United States. $t American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 2009- 650 0 $a Economic development $z United States. 650 0 $a Economic stabilization $z United States. 650 0 $a Federal aid $z United States. 650 0 $a Political planning $z United States. 700 1 $a Conlan, Timothy J., $e editor. 700 1 $a Posner, Paul L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Regan, Priscilla M., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Governing under stress. $d Georgetown University Press : Washington, DC, 2017 $z 9781626163713 830 0 $a Public management and change. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024941.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D3177CC400A911E7BE28DDD2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
