In their art icle “Understanding Shared Roles in Policy and Administration: An Empirical Study of Council-Manager Relations,” authors Tansu Demir and Christopher G. Reddick explore the overall increase in “role sharing,” in which city managers actively participate in policy making and elected offi cials regularly engage in administrative issues. Th e authors write that the increase in role sharing is attributable in large part to the increasing complexity of policy making.
