Title: Polyphonic federalism
First published: 2009
Description: "The relationship between the states and the national government is among the most contested issues in the United States. Questions about where power should reside, how decisions should be made, and how responsibility should be allocated have been central to the American experiment in federalism. In Polyphonic Federalism, Robert A. Schapiro 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."--BOOK JACKET.
