National Guard in Politics
Up in Smoke
Tobacco politics has been an issue fraught with significant legal, commercial, and public policy implications. Originally Derthick took a nuanced look at tobacco politics in a new era of 'adversarial legalism' and the consequences, both intended and unintended, of the Master Settlement Agreement. In the 3rd edition, she returns to 'ordinary politics' and the passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, and shows political ins…

Spoiling for a Fight
Going Federal
This essay compares early experience with implementing two strongly centralizing acts in the field of social welfare, one the Supplemental Security Income program in 1974 and the other Medicare Part D, the prescription drug program for the aged and disabled, in 2006. It contrasts the administrative chaos that characterized the launch of SSI with a smoother transition in Part D, arguing that there was less dislocation in the assignment of key admi…
Where Federalism Didn’t Fail
The governmental response to Hurricane Katrina was not the unalloyed failure that is often portrayed. The response was a mixture of success and failure. Successes occurred when a foundation had been laid for intergovernmental cooperation, as with the largely successful pre‐landfall evacuation of Greater New Orleans, the multistate mobilization of the National Guard, and the search and rescue operations of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Louisiana De…

Reflections on Policymaking for Social Security
The contributors to this symposium have skillfully imparted theoretical content to a work that did not have much, as critics observed when Policymaking for Social Security was published. By family background and childhood experience, I have always been more journalist than social scientist, and what I did in the book was try to construct the reality of policymaking in response to a central question: how did so formidable an institution arise and …
Federalism and The Politics of Tobacco
Late in 1998, the United States acquired a new regime of tobacco control engineered by the states' attorneys general. Nearly all of them had filed lawsuits against the major cigarette manufacturers, allegedly with the aim of recouping Medicaid costs attributable to smoking. Despite latent differences of culture and interest in regard to tobacco control, all of the states eventually joined in settlements with the industry that exacted large paymen…

Crossing Thresholds
Compounded as it is of contrasting forms, the purely national and the purely federal, federalism in the United States is inherently unstable. The division of power and prerogative between nation and states constantly changes, tending normally to become more national. Sometimes change occurs more swiftly and penetrates more deeply than others, and the 1960s were one of those times. One after another, constitutional thresholds were crossed. By the …

American Federalism
Let it be tried ... whether any can be taken, which will at once support a of the national authority, and leave in force the local authorities so far as they can be useful. So wrote James Madison to Edmund Randolph not long before the constitutional convention.I Much of American constitutional experience has consisted, as did much of Madison's work in Philadelphia, of a search for that ground. At the convention, even partisans of the states conce…
