The State of American Federalism 2011-2012
The signature developments in intergovernmental relations and federalism in 2011--2012 were generally found at the state and local levels. Strapped for funds to balance their budgets, states and local governments have made significant cutbacks, taken legal risks, renegotiated labor union contracts, and rejected federal aid. Conversely, subnational governments have created jobs and taken the lead in various policy areas. The U.S. Supreme Court sho…
The State of American Federalism 2010-2011
The slow and jobless economic recovery, the midterm elections and the passage of healthcare reform legislation dominated the political landscape in 2010. The growing momentum behind federal deficit reduction and budget cuts provided a stark juxtaposition to the previously active federal role in stimulating the economy. Consequently, state and local budgets face significant belt-tightening. The cross-cutting impacts of these and other significant …
Comparing Federations
Unlike the usual overview of the state of American Federalism, this special issue compares the state of federalism in the United States and Canada. The articles are drawn from papers delivered at a September 2009 conference on the U.S. and Canadian federalism cosponsored by Publius and the Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations Section of the American Political Science Association.1 In this overview, we briefly highlight interesting findings …

After several years when states were the primary innovators on many issues that topped the policy agenda, the economic downturn drew renewed attention to federal policy-making, given the greater resources and capacities of the federal government. Although federalism was not a dominant issue in the presidential campaign, …
Political Economy of Grant Allocations
This article examines the political economy of U.S. federal highway demonstration grant allocations. Demonstration grants are a rapidly growing segment of federal highway grants directly earmarked for a congressional district by Congress, unlike the majority of highway grants where Congress determines a formula and allocates funds accordingly to states. Our empirical analysis, considering the period 1983-2003, suggests that a state's ability to a…
