Intergovernmental relations scholars note a decentralizing trend transferring authority from national to state and local government in the American federalist system. Theory suggests that a misalignment of the interests of national and regional actors may lead to variation in sub-national regulatory environments. We investigate how different sub-national regulatory environments condition the impact of Tribal gaming. Using tribal-state gaming compacts and amendments from 1990–2010, we examine how restrictions in sub-national regulatory agreements condition intended impacts of the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. We find that revenue sharing and market restrictions differentially influence the impact of gaming on tribal per capita income but not levels of unemployment. Through the case of Tribal gaming, we determine how sub-national agreements condition the relative accomplishment of policy goals important to Native nations.

Economic development in East Java Province increases each year, can be seen from the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) Per Capita is increasing. The increase in GRDP Per Capita, cigarette consumption can increase so that the impact on tax receipts and an increase in life expectancy is low. Tax receipts made as the Province of East Java with revenue sharing fund of tobacco products excise highest. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of revenue sharing fund of tobacco products excise, betel leaves and tobacco expenditures and GRDP Per capita against life expectancy in East Java Province. Research methods used in this research is quantitative research methods with processing and data analysis technique used is Panel regression analysis with Fixed Effects Model (FEM). The results showed that only the GRDP Per Capita  affects life expectancy while revenue sharing fund of tobacco products excise and expenditure of tobacco and betel leaves don't effect on life expectancy in East Java province. Based on those results, so in an attempt to improve life expectancy in East Java province by improving the use of programme revenue sharing fund of tobacco products excise that can provide direct benefits to society such as examination health routine.

No general consensus exists concerning the status of American State and local government and intergovernmental relations as fields within the discipline of political science. Any attempt to make such an evaluation by gauging the attention given to these subjects in colleges and universities should distinguish between the two basic roles of American higher educational institutions—research and teaching.Some observers have noted that in recent years political scientists have become increasingly interested in conducting research in American State and local government. As late as 1963, however, a large number of the members of the American Political Science Association responding to a questionnaire survey of trends in their discipline indicated that State and local government were areas in which the least significant work was being done. Yet, five years later, in a symposium on the advance of political science as a discipline, it was contended that:State and local politics as a field of political science is no longer a ‘lost world’ or the site of ‘Dullsville.’ Rather than being the laggard of the discipline that some political scientists perceive it to be, the study of state and local politics has reentered the mainstream of political research. Much of the work in political science which has influenced the drift of the profession has been within its domain.

Abstract This study examines the impact of the adoption of automatic enrollment provisions by the state of South Dakota for its supplemental retirement saving plan (SRP). In South Dakota, state and local government employees, including teachers, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan and by Social Security. Prior to the introduction of automatic enrollment, the proportion of newly hired employees who were contributing to the SRP was less than 5% in their first year of employment. After the introduction of automatic enrollment, over 90% of newly hired workers who were auto-enrolled were participating in the plan. Using a difference-in-difference approach we find that automatic enrollment changes differences in the participation rate by age, sex, and income. We also find that prior to the adoption of auto-enrollment, agencies that ultimately chose to implement this policy had higher participation rates compared to those that did not adopt auto-enrollment.

<p>This paper describes the impact of dualism in institution of Nagari Pariangan caused by contestation of social control between state and local government through the Law no. 5 of 1979 and Regional Policy of Sumatera Barat number 2/2007. As a case of institutional transformation, Nagari Pariangan has faced some notorious shape until it was transformed as nagari. We found that the first transformation was the interest of state, and the second is the interest of local government. The results of the transformation are dualism of institution which has diminished political structure of governance and local values of Nagari society.</p>

Since the collapse of socialism in Hungary in 1989, political and economic factors increased residential mobility between Budapest and its agglomeration area. Social disparities have become more pronounced not only among the settlements of the agglomeration, but also within them. This paper identifies the different status-dependent paths within the general process of suburbanization using official statistical data, survey and interview analysis. The empirical research was made in 1992 and was repeated in 2002. We argue that higher status groups used the new opportunities to strengthen their status by choosing to move while the poor were forced to move to less advantageous sectors of the agglomeration. These phenomena are the consequences partly of spontaneous factors and partly of state and local government policies. The effects of market forces can be taken as spontaneous factors and they increased western type suburbanization. Several measures taken by states and local governments increased the impact of these factors, helping higher-status groups to move to favorable areas within and around the cities. The same urban and housing policy measures increased the risk of concentrating poverty in certain areas of cities and they resulted in the not-well-known outmigration of lower-status groups. These groups had to move out of the city because it became too expensive for them to live there. Poverty meant that they were unable to find places in high or middle-status suburban areas around the cities and they had to move to more distant, poorer areas of the country.
