- Summary:
- Constitutional scholars Christopher P. Banks and John C. Blakeman offer the most current (and also the first book-length) study of the U.S. Supreme Court's "new federalism," which was begun by the Rehnquist Court and is now flourishing under Chief Justice John Roberts. Using descriptive and empirical methods in political science and legal scholarship, and informed by diverse approaches to judicial ideology, from historical to new institutionalist, the authors investigate how U.S. Supreme Court rulings have shaped the political principle of federalism. While the Rehnquist Court reinvigorated new federalism by protecting state sovereignty and setting new constitutional limits on federal power, Banks and Blakeman show that in the Roberts Court new federalism continues to evolve in a docket increasingly attentive to statutory construction, preemption, and business litigation. In addition, they analyze areas of federalism not normally studied by scholars, such as religious liberty and foreign affairs. Book jacket.
