American Federalism 2011-2012

Papers are encouraged that deal systematically and analytically with issues occurring in 2011-2012 that had a major impact on American federalism. Presidential initiatives, Congressional action (or inaction), Judicial decisions, state initiatives and state innovations are especially welcomed. The papers should build on federalism, intergovernmental relations and state politics literature and theory and should answer specific research questions such as why these events occurred and what their impact will be. Issues might include immigration policies, health care, environment, financial institutions, fiscal stability, among others.
