Abstract
The degree of autonomy of the local state and of urban managers is a focus of contemporary debate. This paper looks at the situation in the United States, where the actions of some local state managers may be subject to scrutiny by a panel of ‘supermanagers’, the justices of the Supreme Court.Keywords
