| Synopsis: |
Some of the most spectacular political conflicts in American history have been fought on the battlefield of federalism-the division of government authority between the national government and the states-including states' rights to leave the union, government power to regulate business, and responses to the problems of race, poverty, pollution, abortion, and gay rights. This text treats the politics of federalism systematically and accessibly, making it indispensable to all students and scholars of American politics.In the new edition of this nuanced and comprehensive text, David Brian Robertson shows that past choices shape present circumstances, and that a deep understanding of American government, public policy, political processes, and society requires an understanding of the key steps in federalism's evolution in American history.New to this edition:Extensive revisions covering the efforts in recent years to promote nullification and resistance to implementing federal laws and regulations, including gay rights, religious freedom laws, policing, and Obamacare.Incorporation and analysis of recent federalism scholarship coming from law, economics, and other disciplines.Chapter-opening vignettes that deal with contemporary cases and policy challenges. |
