摘要

The study assesses the success of the economic development planning grant program of the Economic Development Administration, applying two sets of standards. First, grantee agencies--which are found at the state, city, and multi-county rural Economic Development District (EDD) level--are examined in light of an idealized planning model developed through a legislative and administrative analysis of the history of federally supported economic development planning. Second, the grantees--and EDA policies toward them--are analyzed through the utilization of a conceptual framework based on the implementation analysis literature.;With such an alternative perspective emphasis shifts from the national agency to the local grantees as the key to the execution of federal policy initiatives. The institutional capacity of the local agency--the planning "infrastructure" in both technical and political senses--is the critical focus of the study. The grantee must be able to represent local interests in the administrative arena and its national sponsor's interests in the local economic development arena.;To encompass both arenas a research design was fashioned that would allow for a sufficiently broad variety of behavior among the grantees selected for study. A comparative case study methodology was used, with an eventual output of consistently structured case studies and a structured data checklist for each of the forty-five sites.;Key findings of the study span several issues. Major findings indicate that state grantees tended to be the poorest class, in that they tend to play extremely circumscribed roles in charting the course of economic development in their states. City grantees, on the other hand, were the strongest class and they have evolved the furthest along the developmental path of institutional capacity building. In both cases, characteristics of organizational structure are isolated as key determinants. The unique nature of the EDDs--they lack any formal jurisdictional powers--limits the nature of their planning and implementation activities, and they have responded by becoming reactive technical-assistance providers to their constituent localities. They have become particularly adept at grantsmanship, securing funding for themselves and the localities.;The framework posits an implementation "macro-structure" composed of two intersecting "bargaining arenas" based on the condition of mutual dependence. The first, which is a common concern of intergovernmental relations and implementation analysis, is a vertical "administrative" arena in which national agencies interact with their local counterparts. The second is a local "economic development" arena in which all of the locality's participants in the economic development process contend and compromise in the devising of local economic development strategies and projects. The horizontal local arena has often been neglected in past studies, resulting in a somewhat distorted view of the implementation process.;On the basis of the findings, recommendations are offered to help guide further EDA planning support. Along with specific programmatic changes, the recommendations use the conceptual structure asserted earlier to demonstrate ways in which EDA can use its limited resources to maximize the response of its grantees. Finally, the use of the macro-structure framework for future studies is considered.
