505 0  A political theory of fiscal federalism in the states -- 
       The strategic pursuit of federal grants -- The strategic 
       expenditure of federal grants -- Grants and the electoral 
       connection. 
520    "Each year, states receive hundreds of billions of dollars
       in grants-in-aid from the federal government. 
       Gubernatorial success is often contingent upon the pursuit
       and allocation of these grants. In Governors, Grants, and 
       Elections, Sean Nicholson-Crotty reveals the truth about 
       how U.S. governors strategically utilize these funds. Far 
       from spending federal money in apolitical ways, they 
       usually pursue their own policy interests in the hopes of 
       maximizing their or their party's electoral success. 
       Nicholson-Crotty analyzes three decades of data on the 
       receipt and expenditure of grants in all fifty states. He 
       also draws compelling evidence from governors' public 
       speeches and interviews with state officials. Ultimately, 
       he demonstrates that incumbent governors' use of grants to
       deliver policies desired by core constituents--along with 
       their opportunistic funding of public and private goods 
       that appeal to noncore median voters--enables them to 
       increase approval, legislative success, and, ultimately, 
       vote share for themselves or their parties. The inaugural 
       book in the Johns Hopkins Studies in American Public 
       Policy and Management series, Governors, Grants, and 
       Elections is a significant and accessible work of public 
       policy scholarship that sits at the nexus of multiple 
       fields within political science."--Provided by publisher.
