In this project, Slomczynski asks what prompts some local governments but not
others to engage in such symbolic protest. While most research into protest
examines actions such as meetings, demonstrations and strikes on behalf of a
specific constituency, much less attention has been paid to protest within state
structures. Yet such protest can have great influence over national policy,
including security policy.
Slomczynski answers his question by using the rubric of policy innovation, or the
adoption of rules by legislative units for whom those rules are new.
