    ISSC WORKING PAPER SERIES 2004 -2005.14 Municipal Annex ation and Metropolitan Colonialism at the Nation’s Fringe: San Ysidro, San Diego and the U -S///Mexico Border by Roberto Hernández Department of Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley October 27, 2006 1 Roberto Hernández Department of Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley [email protected] This paper reviews and challenges current Urban Studies literature on annexation, suburbanization, and segregation. Specifically, it investig ates the economic and political forces that led to boundary changes in San Ysidro, California. Prior scholarship on municipal annexations has focused primarily on the procedural mechanics and local dynamics that inform municipal boundary changes. This pa per argues that this approach is “too local,” and suggests that global capital flows and forces play a powerful role in municipal annexations. Through a world -systems lens and a legal history of cities, this paper also provides a framework for rethinking municipal annexations as reenactments of colonial enterprises at a metropolitan scale and considers the implications this framework has on ongoing debates about citizenship. i Urbanism, as a general phenomenon, should not be view ed as the history of particular cities, but as the history of the systems of cities within, between, and around w hich the surplus circulates . -David Harvey (1973, 250) Cities accumulate and retain wealth, control and power because of what flows th rough them, rather than what they statistically contain. -Jonathan Beaverstock, et al (2000, 123) Introduction As a broad overview of annexation, suburbanization , and segregation literatures, this paper argues that the two dominant logics of municipal annexation —economic and political —do not fully account for municipal annexation disputes.

Dove Troy University [email protected] The 2019 keynote address offers an important opportunity for economic historians and policy makers to better understand the nuances associated with Detroit’s recent financial problems, ultimate bankruptcy, and its broader implications for state and local governments in general. This episode is not unprecedented in US economic history, nor is it in all likelihood the last instance of large-scale municipal bankruptcy that will occur. However, the Detroit story offers both a cautionary tale and a tale of hope centered on a path toward rebounding after financial hardship. This same story can be said of the history of US municipal bankruptcy. A major episode in particular came in the wake of the Panic of 1873 and culminated in default or repudiation of nearly 20 percent of all municipal debt (Albert Hillhouse 1936). While the problems that emerged through the nineteenth century were marked by overinvestment in public works, and especially railroad construction (Hillhouse 1936), today’s issues stem much more from unfunded liabilities that have accrued to state and local public pension systems.

  • Institutional Collective Action and Local Governance
    Institutional Collective Action and Local Governance How are collective provision and production arrangements for local government services created and maintained? How do they evolve? An extensive literature on municipal provision and production has focuses on bilateral relationships such as outsourcing production though service contracts (Stein 1990). A second literature explores the structures of local political economies and multilateral governance arrangements (Ostrom, Ostrom and Bish 1988; Oakerson 1989; 2004). This work has given great attention to the evaluation of efficiency of alternative arrangements institutions, but less attention to understanding how and why such arrangements are created and maintained. I have argued argues that competition and cooperation are complimentary forms of strategic interactions among local actors (Feiock 2004). Voluntary agreements emerge from a dynamic political contracting process among local government units facing a collective action problem. While informative, this work provides only an incomplete account of how decentralized systems of governance arrangements evolve and effectively cooperate to address multi-jurisdictional or regional problems. It also neglects the influence of relational networks on the emergence and success of cooperative agreements among local government units. This paper takes initial steps to fill this lacuna by advancing a more complete institutional collective action framework for explaining interlocal cooperation among local governments. I outline several transaction problems that present obstacles to cooperative interlocal service arrangements. Agreements occur where benefits to local government actors exceed the transaction costs of bargaining. These can include 1 information/coordination, negotiation, enforcement, and agency costs. The extent of these costs and the ability of local actors to overcome them and to forge bilateral and multilateral interlocal agreements is posited to depend on characteristics of services, communities, political institutions, and policy networks.

  • City-County Consolidation and Urban Economic Development – (Final)
    1 City-County Consolidation and Urban Economic Development – (Final) Daniel Scheller, Ph.D. Executive Summary This paper addresses an old urban public policy (city-county consolidation) that has garnered much attention in the recent years since the Great Recession. City-county consolidation involves the merging of the separate city and county governments in a county into one countywide government. During many consolidations, the central-city annexes outlying territory in the suburban periphery, which increases the consolidated city’s population and tax base. This report presents results testing the effects of city-county consolidation on economic development in the form of job growth for consolidations between 1950 and 1993. It examines whether or not annexation, along with consolidation, entices businesses to locate to the newly consolidated city- county. It also examines whether or not a city’s elasticity (its annexation of underpopulated land) increases the likelihood of economic development. The economic sectors studied are the manufacturing sector and the retail/service sector. Results show that city-county consolidation has no independent effect on increasing economic development in the form of job attraction. However, annexation of surrounding territories does increase the number of manufacturing and retail/service firms in a county, irrespective of consolidation. There is also no evidence that the combination of city-county consolidation and annexation promotes economic development. If anything, city-county consolidation actually hinders development. When a city’s elasticity is considered, results indicate that inelastic counties (counties with high population per square mile) cannot use annexation to promote economic development. There is simply no room left for business to locate.
