More recently these same programs have been criticized for excessive regulations and red tape, bureaucratic ineptitude, and high cost. The criticisms have been used to justify efforts to curb federal domestic spending and terminate many grants-in-aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhen Federalism Works\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul E. Peterson, Barry G. Rabe, and Kenneth K. Wong examine the new conventional wisdom about federal grants. Through documentary research and hundreds of interviews with local, state, and federal administrators and elected officials, they consider the implementation and operation of federal programs for education, health care, and housing in four urban areas to learn which programs worked, when, and why. Why did rent subsidy programs encounter seemingly endless difficulties, while special education was a notable success? Why did compensatory education fare better in Milwaukee than in Baltimore? Among the factors the authors find significant are the extent to which a program is directed toward groups in need, the political and economic circumstances of the area in which it is implemented, and the degree of professionalism among those who administer it at all levels of government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhen Federalism Works\u003c\/i\u003e provides a solid introduction to the most important grant-in-aid programs of the past twenty years and a thoughtful assessment of where they might be going.\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn When Federalism Works, Paul E.
