Book Synopsis
The relationship between the states and the national government is among the most contested issues in the United States. This title defends the advantages of multiple perspectives in government, arguing that the resulting 'polyphony' creates a system that is more efficient, democratic, and protective of liberties.

Trade Review

It will make a very important contribution to the current discussion of the functioning of, and the purposes behind, our system of constitutional federalism." - Robert Williams, Rutgers School of Law"
