Both a history of American federalism and an analysis of its
current, somewhat conflicted condition, this second edition offers
up-to-date statistics and new interpretation. While considering
recent developments, Walker concludes with an optimistic assessment
of the overall health of the system, believing it to be in the best
condition in over thirty years.
The Rebirth of Federalism, 2/e, has already received critical
acclaim: "This is an impressive book that integrates historical,
political, legal, and economic approaches to the study of
federalism and intergovernmental relations", writes William Gormley
of Georgetown University. "Walker's second edition is timely
because much has happened in federalism and intergovernmental
relations since 1994. As Walker rightly suggests, devolutionary
rhetoric has been more noteworthy than devolutionary activity.
Still, it is clear that the states have won some, important
victories in recent years in Congress, in the White House, and in
the Supreme Court".
