245	1	0	_aDoes regionalism beget regionalism? The relationship between norms and regional partnerships for economic development
260			_c2002
520	3		_aSocial scientists traditionally have described local governments as competing with each other for residents and businesses. But in a number of metropolitan areas in the United States, local governmental officials have formed groups voluntarily to enhance the economic development of multijurisdictional areas. This article develps a theory that asserts the key determinants of the formation of these regional partnerships for economic development are cooperative norms - or a tradition of regional cooperation - and need. The theory also posits that norms influence regional partnerships' organizational structure and process. Hypotheses are tested emprirically using data from all metropolitan areas in the United States and responses to a national survey of regional partnerships for economic development. Results provide some support for the theory that norms and need are both positively related to the formation of regional partnerships for economic development. Support is weak that norms are related to the organizational characteristics of regional partnerships for economic development
