416 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. xi (1974)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0416 and id is 1 raw text is: PREFACE This is the third volume of THE ANNALS to be devoted to the topic of intergovernmental relations: the first, a pioneering effort edited by the late, eminent W. Brooke Graves in 1940, and the second, a worthy follow-up edited by Harry Reynolds in 1965. With a twenty-five year lapse between the first two volumes, one might legitimately ask why a third volume was deemed necessary in only nine years. The answer emerges clearly on a perusal of the articles that follow: intergovernmental relations have become central to the operations of American government-they are at its very core and are likely to remain so. Moreover, they have come to be institutionalized in government operations and to be recognized by scholars and lay citizens alike as being of central importance to the function- ing of American government. Also, of course, the Johnson and Nixon administrations focused attention on intergovernmental relations as did none of their predecessors. Thus, nine years is none too soon for a reappraisal of so vital a force in American government. Indeed, periodic appraisals would now seem to be in order. Authors of the articles that make up this issue were all first choices: each is an acknowledged expert on his subject. Together, their final products constitute as perceptive an analysis of American intergovernmental relations as is currently possible. Appreciation is a mild word for my feeling about their efforts.
