American Intergovernmental Relations: Foundations, Perspectives, and Issues
English
To the general structure that has made American Intergovernmental Relations so enduring, the editors have added a new section that incorporates the importance of law and courts to intergovernmental relations. This new section explicitly grounds the study of intergovernmental relations to foundational Constitutional text and the dynamic role of the Supreme Court in interpreting constitutional powers.
OToole and Christensen have also added new selections that cover societys current and most pressing intergovernmental policy issues, including health care, immigration, and the evolving and controversial issue of medical marijuana.
As always, each essay is judiciously edited and substantial part introductions further contextualize each essays contribution to make American Intergovernmental Relations an accessible and invaluable text, as well as an engaging read. See more
