Abstract
  • Coercive federalism has shown great continuity since the late 1960s, as characterized by a shift
    of federal aid from places to persons, policy conditions and earmarks attached to federal aid,
    preemptions, federal encroachments on state taxation, federalization of state criminal law, defunct
    intergovernmental institutions, reduced federal-state cooperation within major intergovernmental
    programs, and federal court litigation. However, unfunded federal mandates and federal court
    orders mandating major state institutional change have become less prevalent. State policy activism
    remains vigorous, but the U.S. Supreme Court's state-friendly federalism jurisprudence has stalled
    since 2002.
