Understanding federalism - the form of political organization that
unites separate polities within an overarching political system so
that all maintain their political integrity - is central to the
study of democratic government in the United States. Yet textbooks
tend to cover the topic as a set of abstract principles or a maze
of budgetary transfers with little connection to real political
life. federalism is about power, specifically the tug for power
among and within the various levels of government. Author Larry N.
Gerston examines the historical and philosophical underpinnings of
federalism; the various change events that have been involved in
defining America's unique set of federal principles over time; and
the vertical, horizontal, and international dimensions of
federalism in the United States today. The result is a book with
wide application for undergraduate students in American government,
state and local politics, public administration, or any course
examining the ways in which institutional political power is both
diffused and concentrated in the United States.
