The one constant in the American federal system is change--change
that is not always beneficial. American Intergovernmental
Relations: A Fragmented Federal Polity examines how the dynamic
social, economic, and political forces that impinge on American
government at all levels shape the way that our federal system
functions.
Stephens and Wikstrom--both senior scholars specializing in
federalism, intergovernmental relations, and fiscal policy--offer
concise, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand coverage of these
materials. Beginning with the key elements of federalism, the
authors trace these principles as they have evolved since the
founding of the republic and through the various phases and types
of federal arrangements as they exist today. They examine and
analyze the extreme complexity of the system and the cooperative
and conflicting components of vertical and horizontal
intergovernmental relations. Stephens and Wikstrom also discuss the
impact of public policy and intergovernmental relations on American
society in light of rising globalism, rapidly changing technology,
and new security concerns. Featuring relevant case studies from the
headlines, American Intergovernmental Relations is an ideal text
for undergraduate and graduate courses in federalism and
intergovernmental relations. It is also an excellent text for a
different approach to a course in American government.
