This volume examines and discusses American federalism's current status, in particular the enormous changes in the last 30 years. The contributors explore the paradox of stronger, richer and more independent states and localities contrasted with legislation and supreme court decisions explicity limiting their autonomy. In several articles the stage is set for the 3rd century of this longest running, ever changing, "experiment" in democracy.
An analysis of the current status of American federalism, this book explores recent changes and examines the paradox of stronger, more independent states contrasted with the legislation and Supreme Court decisions limiting their autonomy.
