Abstract

ABSTRACT:This study uses a mix of qualitative, quantitative, and spatial statistical methods to investigate local government responses to a state level change in land use policy. The results suggest that local governments resisted state intervention, and were guided mainly by self-interest and peers’ actions when deciding whether or not to change their ordinances. The study examines the reasons for this principal–agent failure, and suggests an alternative approach for other weak-mandate states attempting to influence local land use policy.
