Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Historically, modeling the relationships which predominate intergovernmental relations has been an exercise based on the study of institutions and the ties which bind those institutions together. The resulting theories were static and most often adopted the ?one size fits all? approach to understanding how different governments implement policy. These theories, and the perspective which is embedded in them, have provided the basis of the field of intergovernmental relations. It is now necessary to reevaluate the metaphors and models used by theoreticians to assess whether they adequately encompass the reality which faces managers of public organizations. Extending the work of Christensen (1999) a new interpretation of intergovernmental relations, the image of the spider?s web, is proposed. The model is explored using the State of Georgia?s mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse services delivery system. The use of the metaphor and testing of the model are discussed.
