In January 2009, Barack Obama became president of the United States, succeeding George W. Bush in an era filled with political division and fiscal crises. President Obama inherited war and insecurity in the Middle East, the largest recession since the 1930s, rapidly rising costs of healthcare, and a partisan Congress that became even more polarized during his time in office. Obama may not have come into the executive with a definitive strategy for the intergovernmental interactions and relationships that would develop throughout his time in office. However, as the end of his presidency nears, we can begin to assess how the administration has made and implemented policy over the last eight years. How has federalism changed since 2009? How have power dynamics and relationships among the national, state, and local levels of government evolved? In this short introduction, we briefly recap how the editors and some contributors to the “Annual Review of American Federalism” special issues in Publius between 2009 and 2015 have characterized the dynamics of intergovernmental relations. In the articles that follow this introduction, a series of contributors to “The Obama Administration and American Federalism” special issue place the Obama presidency in the context of prior administrations, examine policy-making regarding the environment, education, and health care, and assess court decisions and state challenges to federal government actions during the Obama presidency
