Collaborative governance of regional public affairs is an important aspect of national governance and a major theoretical and practical issue facing contemporary public management. Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) is an important part of the modern national governance system and an important way to understand regional public affairs governance. The rule of law in intergovernmental relations is a very important part of the transformation of China's national governance system. With the acceleration of the modernization of China's national governance system and governance capacity, as well as the rapid development of regional integration and new-type urbanization, the intergovernmental relationship model under the traditional planned economy system has gradually transformed into the intergovernmental relationship model under the modern market economy system. Border-based intergovernmental relations have undergone important changes in the context of the rapid development of globalization, regionalization, industrialization, informatization, marketization and democratization, and have been replaced by an intergovernmental collaborative governance network approach. Law is the most important instrument of governance, and good law is a prerequisite for good governance. The political and administrative significance of the study of interstate agreements in the United States lies in drawing on the reasonable legal system factors of intergovernmental agreement governance in the United States, improving the legal institutional framework of the governance mechanism of the agreement between the governments during the transition period, promoting the rule of law, institutionalization and standardization of the governance of intergovernmental agreements, and reconstructing the harmonious relationship of win-win intergovernmental cooperation. The U.S. Constitution establishes an institutional framework for rule-of-law-oriented intergovernmental relations. Federalism is a political separation of powers between the federal government and the governments of several member states, which naturally produces the relationship between the member state governments, that is, interstate relations. Interstate relations are an important intergovernmental relationship under federalism and constitute an important part of Horizontal Federalism. Interstate competition and cooperation are intrinsic features of federalism. Although the 50 states in the United States are in the same federal system, because the legislative, executive, and judicial organs of each state are created under the principle of a republican form of government, from the guiding principles to the operating procedures, the interstate relationship is far more complex than the interprovincial relationship under the unitary state, and the interstate relationship has not only administrative relationship, but also legislative relationship and judicial relationship, and the latter two relationships are often the basis of the former relationship. Interstate Compacts is a rule-of-law contractual arrangement for the coordination of interstate relations under the federal system of the United States, and is regarded as one of the most important cross-state regional public affairs collaborative governance mechanisms. Interstate agreements are the oldest interstate cooperative mechanism, which has deep roots and foundations since the American colonial era. This book views Interstate Compacts as an intergovernmental legal contract governance system under the U.S. federal system. The Compact Clause of the U.S. Federal Constitution builds a framework of constitutional principles for interstate agreements at the level of national governance systems. Under the "agreement" clause of the Federal Constitution, an interstate agreement is concluded by negotiation and consultation between two or more states and with the consent and approval of Congress, and the contracting states are bound by the "agreement" and "contract" clauses of the Federal Constitution, just as the parties or parties are bound by contract in a commercial transaction. This is a legally binding form of interstate cooperation. It enables the states and states of the United States to distribute and share powers, rights and responsibilities through interstate intergovernmental legal contracts in accordance with the framework of constitutional principles, so that the exercise of all powers and rights is both actively incentivized and strictly constrained and supervised to maintain the federal order. The promulgation of the "agreement" clause of the US Federal Constitution has created a broad stage for the development of interstate relations, become a powerful legal system for the development of cooperative federalism, and greatly promoted the stable and rapid development of interstate regional cooperative relations after the founding of the United States. Following the constitutional framework of interstate agreements, states unite themselves through contractual foundations rather than bureaucratic authority to form an intergovernmental collaborative network of autonomous governance, which effectively promotes cross-state regional public affairs collaborative governance, helps to integrate and enhance the regional public governance capacity of the US state government, and promotes the political, economic and social integration of the US state at the regional level. In the United States today, most interstate common affairs, disputes, and conflicts can be resolved through interstate agreements. Interstate agreements are conceived as a powerful cooperative mechanism for resolving interstate boundaries and other disputes and for states to solve common problems across state states through resource integration and joint action. As a result, interstate agreements have been widely used more widely than ever before, and have become an important tool for state government governance in the United States. The significance of this interaction between states is important: the more states are increasingly uniting to organize institutional collaborative governance actions across state lines, the greater the potential to address regional and national public affairs and public policy issues. From the institutional level of public governance, compared with the single-center management model formed in the separate, closed and bounded administrative regions of units, the interstate agreement mechanism not only surpasses the spontaneous market regulation mechanism, but also breaks through the traditional divided and antagonistic public management system, and is a collaborative governance model in the regional horizontal integration space that breaks through the single administrative jurisdiction and integrates administrative resources. This public governance model is essentially the institutionalization and behavioral adjustment of intergovernmental relations carried out by multiple state governments to meet the requirements of governance of cross-state regional common affairs: the construction of a network of interstate public governance relationships including common interests, collaborative mechanisms and legally binding commitments. The successful practice of interstate agreements in the United States proves that many interstate regional public issues can be governed in a collective and cooperative manner, and also proves that interstate agreements have great potential as a basic legal mechanism to promote regional and national interstate cooperation. Interstate agreements represent a horizontal intergovernmental legal contract, and the implementation and management of contracts are fundamentally different from traditional bureaucratic management methods in many respects, and require different theories to explain. Based on the perspective of collaborative governance theory, this book uses qualitative research methods to construct an analytical framework of collaborative governance process based on a series of repeated game actions of "negotiation-commitment-implementation", and attempts to theoretically answer the following questions: what is the internal logic and development driving force of the historical changes of interstate agreements, and how can member state governments carry out interstate regional collaborative governance actions in the process of concluding and implementing interstate agreements. This book combines theoretical, empirical, historical and textual research methods, and takes The Republican River Compact of 1943 (RRC, which flows through the three states of Central Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska) as a case study, to provide an analytical narrative and theoretical explanation, and from the perspective of combining theory and practice, sketch the knowledge picture of intergovernmental collaboration in the interstate regional governance of the United States: rule of law, Multi-level and networked governance model of intergovernmental relations. First, institutional change is the key to understanding historical change. This book sorts out the basic path of the historical evolution of interstate agreements from the perspective of the evolution of the cooperative federalism system: the "agreement" procedure originated in the colonial era, and initially developed the "agreement" clause of the Confederation Ordinance, which promoted the rule of law, institutionalization, and formalization of interstate agreements. In a certain sense, interstate agreements are the product of the historical development of the American state, and their historical evolution has the characteristics of a combination of spontaneous institutional change and mandatory institutional change. After analyzing the historical evolution of interstate agreements, this paper divides interstate agreements into ten types from the two dimensions of policy functions (boundary jurisdiction policy, distribution policy, regulatory policy and redistributive policy) characteristics and membership structure characteristics of interstate agreements, pointing out that interstate river agreements are an important agreement among all interstate agreement types and have become an important mechanism for public governance of river basins in the United States. Secondly, the consideration of the coordination mechanism of intergovernmental relations in the process of concluding and implementing interstate agreements constitutes the basic clue of the theoretical construction of this book. This book constructs a framework for collaborative governance processes, takes the Rippbricken River Basin Agreement (RRC) as an example, analyzes the background factors of interstate agreements, explains the process of negotiation, negotiation, commitment and implementation of interstate agreements, and reinterprets the model of intergovernmental collaborative governance processes. Through typical cases, this book proves the important value and significance of interstate agreements as institutional arrangements for cross-state public affairs governance in the United States. Relying on interstate agreements, US states have built a legal framework for interstate collaborative governance in the process of cross-state regional governance. The process of concluding interstate agreements, the implementation process and the dispute governance process evolved through a series of repeated game actions of "consultation-commitment-implementation", and the intergovernmental collaborative action system in interstate basin governance in the United States formed a pedigree in practice. From "intergovernmental agreements" to "intergovernmental consultations" and "intergovernmental mediation" to "intergovernmental arbitration" and "intergovernmental litigation", the governance structure of interstate basin agreement disputes has gradually become more hierarchical. Transaction costs are an important factor influencing the choice of the above five coordinated governance mechanisms. These five coordination mechanisms all play an important role as a complex of institutional arrangements for cross-state regional public affairs collaborative governance, forming an open and dynamic legal framework for coordination of intergovernmental relations. This means that an effective governance system must be transformed into actual governance capabilities under a certain governance structure, which is an important embodiment of the importance and effectiveness of the governance system. Third, this paper comprehensively analyzes the political, economic, cultural and social ecological environment for the growth of interstate agreements in the United States. In any country, the national governance structure is based on the development of certain historical-social-cultural-ecological environment comprehensive conditions. The success of the interstate agreement in the United States lies in its sophisticated constitutional system design, which fully implements the basic principles of nationalism (stateism) and contractualism (federalism), authorization incentives and limited power constraints, separation of powers and checks and balances, democracy and rule of law, autonomy and co-governance. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the regional public governance system embodied in the interstate agreement in the United States, explains the logic of cross-state regional intergovernmental collaborative governance that has important academic value for enriching regional public management theory, and points out that it has important enlightenment and reference value for the coordination of intergovernmental relations and regional cooperative governance innovation in the process of regional integration and new-type urbanization in China. The design of any national governance system must be based on the national conditions. Although the intergovernmental relations system under the federal system of the United States is different from the intergovernmental relations system under China's unitary system, many of the problems facing the coordination of intergovernmental relations and the governance of regional public affairs are the same, that is, how to provide high-quality and efficient public goods and services through intergovernmental collaboration (horizontal and vertical) to improve the efficiency of government governance. The successful practice of the "agreement" clause of the US Federal Constitution and the interstate agreement has provided many useful experiences and references for the introduction of relevant contents of China's Constitution. This book advocates learning from and drawing on the successful experience of interstate agreements in the United States, based on the perspective of administrative ecology, from the perspective of China's national conditions and the effect of experience to examine the experience of interstate agreements in the United States and their universal limitations, based on the current specific "historical-social-cultural" ecological environment in China, and on the basis of clarifying the differences between interprovincial agreements and interstate agreements in China's regional coordinated development in terms of national governance system environment and practical foundation. Deeply consider the top-level design of the coordination mechanism of intergovernmental relations in China's regional development and the constraints and incentives for innovation in regional collaborative governance, put forward ideas and countermeasures for further improving and improving the rule of law mechanism for regional intergovernmental relations coordination in China, and promote the modernization of China's regional governance system and governance capacity in the new era. The topics of this book are unique and innovative, and the research thinking has both historical and international perspectives, which has certain academic significance and application value. This study adopts the analysis methods of new institutional economics and game theory, especially the thinking methods, concepts and theories of new institutional economics to study the historical evolution and practical operation process of the interstate agreement governance system in the United States. Transaction costs are a fundamental concept and unit of analysis for understanding the governance process of interstate agreements in the United States. Through the practice cases of cross-state basin agreement governance, this achievement specifically interprets the regional intergovernmental collaborative governance process model, and enriches the understanding of collaborative governance theory. The research on the overall model of the dispute governance mechanism of interstate basin agreements is not only helpful to the discussion of public conflict governance in collaborative governance, but also has strong applicability in other research fields of public governance. From a comparative public administration perspective, this book has important academic value. While analyzing the historical evolution and design of the governance system of interstate agreements in the United States, this book introduces the analysis method of ecological governance, systematically pays attention to the comprehensive role of historical-social-political-economic-cultural and other diverse ecological environments, enriches the understanding of interstate agreements as an important regional public governance mechanism under the US federal system, and not only has important theoretical significance for the deepening of regional public management research content and the expansion of research horizons. Moreover, it has important enlightenment and reference value for the construction of the rule of law and the innovation of regional cooperation governance mechanism of the coordination mechanism of relations between the Chinese government.
