Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Historical patterns affect cities� ability to address the problems they face. Actor-centered analyses and research that pays little attention to past trends cannot fully explain why and how cities make and execute public policy. With these points in mind, this article examines how the political development of the relations between New Orleans and Louisiana affect how the city rebuilds. The enduring tensions between Louisiana and the city strongly influence post-Katrina New Orleans. The continuing pattern involves a battle for control over New Orleans. This struggle is typified by wedge issues such as patronage, fiscal concerns, and race relations. Without an understanding of historical patterns such as state-local relations, it is quite difficult to comprehend how and why New Orleans attempts to recover from Hurricane Katrina.
