Abstract
Through a case study of economic development projects in Detroit, the author examines the influence of time and information constraints, policy entrepreneurs, and regime maintenance concerns in promoting policy replication and the development of solution sets. Detroit's experience suggests that political and symbolic benefits shape the decisions of policymakers concerned with preserving an existing governing coalition but that their reliance on past solution sets may weaken the position of this coalition.
