Book SynopsisTrade Review"A New Yorker Best Book of the Year"
"Winner of the Merze Tate – Elinor Ostrom Outstanding Book Award, American Political Science Association"
"[A] landmark book."
---Nancy MacLean, New Republic"Brilliant. . . . Grumbach offers both a thoughtful examination of US federalism’s inherent perils and limits and a searching interpretation of how they are compounded in our current political climate."
---Colin Gordon, Jacobin"[Jacob Grumbach] contends in this lucid analysis that the nationalization of America’s major political parties threatens democracy. . . . Grumbach’s claims are persuasive and timely. This is a pinpoint diagnosis of a troubling political trend." * Publishers Weekly *
"The most persuasive and sweeping criticism of federalism yet."
---Timothy Callaghan, Publius"Grumbach is a bit of a unicorn: deeply committed to the highest standards of theoretical and empirical rigor, strikingly uninterested in upholding the façade of academic objectivity."
---Jamila Michener, Democracy
