The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations--A Data Base for Urban Planners.

E. J. Savage

Expert InsightsPublished 1970

The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR), a five-year-old institution concerned with problems of intergovernmental relations at the national level, has been successful in engendering greater inter-level cooperation in the U.S. federal system, thus helping to reduce the ideological tug-of-war between those who favor decentralized dispersion of power and those who back strong centralized power. This paper examines ACIR from the standpoint of origin, structural composition, and interests and accomplishments. Interwoven is a consideration of ACIR's unique features, including its policy role and an analysis of its literature on governmental reorganization in metropolitan areas. 23 pp. Ref.
