註釋An analysis of state-federal relations in developing agricultural economies must first address such issues as the overall role of government, the need for public administrative suppport and the relative roles of state and federal governments during agricultural transformation. After examining the historical antecedents of local-state-federal relations in agricultural development, this paper presents an analytical normative model suggesting guidelines for assigning fiscal responsibilities for agricultural programs among tiers of the government. It then examines empirical evidence against the background of the analytical model; isolates the critical issues in government relations in Nigerian agriculture; and makes some recommendations that may guide relationships in the future. The next sections present a brief sketch of historical antecedents and an analytical model of the criteria for assigning responsibilities for agriculture between state and federal governments. The paper then examines the empirical evidence, while the final section isolates the critical issues in local-state-federal relations in Nigerian agriculture.
