PPOL-612 FEDERALISM AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS

Professors Gormley

The principal purpose of this course is to highlight what we know about federalism and intergovernmental relations in the US, by taking advantage of a rich theoretical and empirical literature. In addition, we plunge into the thicket of numerous controversies. For example, should federal and state responsibilities be reallocated in particular policy arenas? Should federal mandates and federal grants-in-aid go hand in hand? Should the federal government rely more on persuasion and less on coercion? Is it possible to treat the states as laboratories without running the risk of experiments in terror? Also an Environmental & Regulatory Policy track Course
