The US Constitution did not establish a clear division of
responsibilities between the national government and state
governments, so the distribution of policymaking authority is
subject to constant renegotiation and debate. When national
lawmakers introduce policy initiatives that implicate the states in
important ways, why do state leaders sometimes respond with strong
support and other times with indifference or outright hostility?
Moving beyond the conventional story that state officials simply
want money and autonomy from their national counterparts, this book
explains how the states' responses over the short, medium, and long
term are shaped by policy design, timing, and the interaction
between the two. Reaching across different historical eras with
in-depth case studies of policies such as Superfund, the No Child
Left Behind Act, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, the book shows how federalism has influenced, and continues to
influence, the evolution of American public policy.
