Is the U.S. national government becoming more centralized and thus better able to reduce major political and social conflicts? In this controversial view of American federalism, (American constitutional law, Univ. of Colorado Sch. of Law) argues that "our political institutions are collapsing into the center" which isn't good. Discussing U.S. constitutional law, he considers whether current politics is "breaking down the understandings and social structures that maintain federalism." Nagel believes that this implosion of government power is leading to the centralization of authority and homogenization of society, reducing possibilities for both competition among state and national governments and different avenues of political participation. He strongly disagrees with analysts of U.S. Supreme Court federalism decisions, countering that the Court cannot support a robust federalism. Nagel's analysis of longer trends regarding U.S. government structures will interest individuals concerned with current politics and the future of American society. His thoughtful argument is highly recommended for larger public and academic libraries. Steven Puro, St. Louis Univ.

Review


"A subtle and compelling analysis of the leading cases, which makes up the bulk of his splendid book, Nagel shows, first, that the Supreme Court has not really reasserted federalism but rather "domesticated" it. --The Weekly Standard


"His voice is conservative but with a surprising twist....[Nagel] suggests that the Court's 'new federalism' jurisprudence falls far short of restoring state government and politics to their full and proper vigor. "--The Washington Post


"No recent book matches Nagel's thoughtful and thought-provoking observations on federalism, the Supreme Court, and the state of American politics."--Michael S. Greve, AEI
