  Richard Nathan, co-chair of the NEW YORK-based Rockefeller Institute of Government, concurs that there are powerful centralizing forces currently at work, but he contends that despite those forces, states aren't cowing to Washington -- as evidenced by their defiance on such issues as stem cell research, prescription drug importation, medicinal marijuana and the No Child Left Behind Act.As Nathan sees it, the fact that the states have been able to create effective policy in spite of "a Republican regime" that is "so strong, bold, conservative" and not particularly interested in states' rights is proof that federalism is working.

  And according to Richard P. Nathan, director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government at the State University of New York and a former aide to President Nixon, the states' government activism could lead to a surge of federal activism.That's been the case in earlier periods when conservatives governed Washington, Nathan reports in a paper that will be released this month."When conservative coalitions controlled national offices, programs that were incubated, tested and debugged in liberal states become the basis for later national action," he writes.The Progressive Era policies of presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were inspired by state child labor laws and public health reforms in the late 19th century, for example, and Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal was based on state efforts in the 1920s to establish minimum labor standards and aid for the poor, Nathan says.

  Richard P. NathanAs democratic societies grow older, entrenched groups become increasingly adroit at protecting and furthering their interests.The challenge for public management is how to make hard choices that moderate the power of such groups in ways that take cognizance of broader, less powerful interests.My subject for this article is "mediating institutions" that is, organizational approaches that can be adopted to insulate certain policy choices from the hottest of hot politics.
  
  Public officials who are change agents constantly face the question of trade-offs: when is change possible and when does it require more political capital or authority than the official can muster.In today's column, Richard Nathan provides a terrific approach to solving this problem by showing us how third-party or quasi-government "mediating institutions" can play a critical role.

  Nathan has it right, with one major addendum: The power of technology to solve social problems does depend on the willingness and commitment of public officials.
