This is necessary to explain the active, entrepreneurial behavior of institutional venues, which until now have been assumed to be passive in nature. It is wellknown that public administrators must be aware that their success of failure depends ontheir ability to adopt a policy that is arena-specific. For purposes of illustration, the authors use two case studies that demonstrate how cities actively attempt to block base closure and defense downsizing threats to their locales
