Contemporary American federalism, while characterized by nationalized policy battles in the states, is also increasingly defined by the centralization of power in the federal judiciary. In this introductory piece of the 2023–2024 Annual Review issue, we unpack the judicialization of federalism politics. This process, we argue, has been facilitated by national political gridlock, defined by increasing dysfunction in Congress, and the growth of the administrative presidency. In policy conflicts on subjects ranging from education and the environment to abortion and other individual rights, courts have played an increasingly significant role as the arbiter of the federal–state balance of power. As the articles in this Annual Review illustrate, with a few exceptions, judicialization of federalism has often resulted in the devolution of authority to the states, with significant implications for public policy and democratic institutions.
当代美国联邦主义的特点是各州的国家化政策斗争,同时也越来越多地被联邦司法机构的权力集中所定义。在本期《2023-2024 年度评论》的导言中,我们将解读联邦政治的司法化。我们认为,国会功能日益失调所造成的国家政治僵局以及行政总统制的发展推动了这一进程。在从教育和环境到堕胎和其他个人权利的政策冲突中,法院作为联邦-州权力平衡的仲裁者发挥着越来越重要的作用。正如本年度评论中的文章所说明的,除少数例外情况外,联邦制的司法化往往导致权力下放到各州,对公共政策和民主体制产生重大影响。

Armed Federalism, Gun Markets, and the Right to Bear Arms in the United States 美国的武装联邦制、枪支市场和持枪权
Pub Date : 2024-06-11 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae020

This article argues that fragmented and varied regulatory, cultural, and electoral responses to guns and gun rights in the contemporary United States are a result of two long-standing features of American political life––its tradition of armed federalism and its unique, domestically oriented market for small firearms. As a result of the intersection of these two phenomena, the past 150 years have seen the growth of a fragmentary regulatory response to firearms on the part of local, state, and federal jurisdictions; the emergence of an organized national gun-rights movement; and, most significantly, the ascendance of a legal strategy by supporters of gun-rights constitutionalism. Only by examining the historical contingencies of American political institutions and markets does the contested transformation of a “right to bear arms” into gun rights make sense.
本文认为,当代美国在枪支和枪支权利方面零散而多样的监管、文化和选举对策是美国政治生活两个长期存在的特征--武装联邦制传统及其独特的、面向国内的小型枪支市场--的结果。由于这两种现象的交织,在过去的 150 年中,地方、州和联邦司法机构对枪支的零散监管措施逐渐增多;出现了有组织的全国性枪支权利运动;最重要的是,枪支权利宪法主义支持者的法律策略也逐渐兴起。只有对美国政治体制和市场的历史偶然性进行研究,"持枪权 "向枪支权利的转变才有意义。

Democratic Backsliding in the American States: The Case of Judicial Independence 美国各州的民主倒退:司法独立案例
Pub Date : 2024-04-08 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae009
Meghan E. Leonard
With ever-increasing gridlock and polarization at the national level, many new policy changes in the United States have come at the state level. This includes legislation that restricts the right to vote, limits free speech and expression, and gerrymanders state legislative and congressional districts. A growing body of literature describes these changes, when taken together, as evidence of subnational democratic backsliding. Yet this literature largely ignores the effects of federalism on the structure of institutions within the states, particularly on judicial independence. In this article, I examine the relationship between measures of democracy and introduction of court-curbing legislation in the states. Focusing on instances of court packing, changing the methods of selection and retention, and impeachment, I show that heightened attacks on judicial independence are associated with other types of democratic backsliding.
随着国家层面的僵局和两极分化日益加剧,美国的许多新政策变化都发生在州一级。这包括限制投票权、限制言论自由和表达自由的立法,以及对州议会和国会选区进行划分。越来越多的文献将这些变化合在一起描述为次国家民主倒退的证据。然而,这些文献在很大程度上忽视了联邦制对州内机构结构的影响,尤其是对司法独立的影响。在本文中,我研究了民主措施与各州出台遏制法院立法之间的关系。我将重点放在法院打包、改变遴选和留任方法以及弹劾等事例上,证明对司法独立的攻击加剧与其他类型的民主倒退有关。

Out of Many, One? Exploring Ethnolinguistic Identity Appeals in the Brussels Capital Region 多中求一?探索布鲁塞尔首都大区的民族语言认同诉求
Pub Date : 2024-04-05 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae010

Consociationalism promises to resolve tensions among groups in deeply divided societies by constructing shared identity that transcends ethnic divisions. Yet there is no guarantee that this will happen, and empirical studies testing this claim yield inconsistent results. We examine the extent to which political parties appeal to shared identities within a consociation, focusing on the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) in Belgium. The BCR constitutes a regional consociation aimed at addressing divisions between Dutch and French speakers. Based on a quantitative analysis of party programs, and a qualitative analysis of thirty interviews with Brussels MPs, our findings indicate that parties do indeed appeal to a common sense of belonging, often on issues that have a low ethnolinguistic salience. When addressing contentious community matters, however, we observe that Dutch-speaking parties (especially ethnic outbidders) prioritize their own linguistic group identity more than Francophone parties.
在严重分裂的社会中,联合主义有望通过构建超越种族分歧的共同身份来化解群体间的紧张关系。然而,这并不能保证一定会实现,而且检验这种说法的实证研究得出的结果也不一致。我们以比利时布鲁塞尔首都大区(BCR)为例,研究了政党在多大程度上呼吁联合体内的共同认同。布鲁塞尔首都大区是一个地区联盟,旨在解决荷兰语和法语之间的分歧。基于对政党纲领的定量分析,以及对布鲁塞尔议员的 30 次访谈的定性分析,我们的研究结果表明,政党确实在呼吁一种共同的归属感,这种归属感往往体现在一些民族语言突出度较低的问题上。不过,在处理有争议的社区事务时,我们注意到荷兰语政党(尤其是族裔外来者)比法语政党更优先考虑自己的语言群体身份。

Local Fiscal Response to State Preemption: A Case Study of Massachusetts’ Proposition 2½ Tax Referendum 地方财政对州优先权的反应:马萨诸塞州第 2½ 号提案税收公投案例研究
Pub Date : 2024-03-15 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae007

State preemption in the form of tax and expenditure limits significantly limits local revenue-raising capacity. To gain insights into how local governments respond to fiscal preemption through direct democracy, this study focuses on tax referenda that override the levy limit set by Proposition 2½ in Massachusetts. Analyzing a sample of 320 municipalities from 2010 to 2021, we investigate the influence of fiscal slack resources and tax burden on the levy limit overrides and exclusions. Our analysis breaks down the tax referendum process into two stages, highlighting the involvement of different decision-makers: local officials proposing the referendum and individual voters approving it. We find that municipalities are motivated to seek tax referenda due to diminishing fiscal slack resources, yet the tax burden on residents can discourage such pursuits.
以税收和支出限制为形式的州政府优先权极大地限制了地方政府的创收能力。为了深入了解地方政府如何通过直接民主应对财政优先权,本研究重点关注马萨诸塞州推翻 2½ 号提案规定的征税限制的税收公投。我们以 2010 年至 2021 年的 320 个城市为样本进行分析,研究了财政松弛资源和税收负担对税款限额超限和豁免的影响。我们的分析将税收公投过程分为两个阶段,强调了不同决策者的参与:提出公投的地方官员和批准公投的个人选民。我们发现,由于财政资源不断减少,市政当局有寻求税收公投的动机,但居民的税收负担可能会阻碍这种追求。

Integration through Expansive Unification: The Birth of the European Health Union 通过广泛统一实现一体化:欧洲卫生联盟的诞生
Pub Date : 2024-03-07 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae006

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic pushed the European Union (EU) to centralize several public health functions. With the European Health Union (EHU) initiative, four reforms have been adopted to strengthen the EU’s health security framework: the extension of the European Medicines Agency and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control’s mandates, the creation of the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority, and the upgrading of the Decision on serious cross-border threats to health. This article analyses the reconfiguration of authority patterns resulting from these reforms. It argues that the EHU exemplifies a distinct mode of integration (expansive unification) in which national sovereignty is not transferred to the center but is jointly exercised at the center. This mode of integration is suitable for capacity building in core state domains when functional needs confront reluctance from constituent units to surrender control.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行促使欧盟(EU)集中了多项公共卫生职能。随着欧洲卫生联盟(EHU)倡议的提出,欧盟通过了四项改革,以加强欧盟的卫生安全框架:扩大欧洲药品管理局和欧洲疾病预防控制中心的任务范围,成立卫生应急准备和响应管理局,以及升级关于严重跨境卫生威胁的决定。本文分析了这些改革带来的权力模式重组。文章认为,《紧急卫生股》体现了一种独特的一体化模式(扩张性统一),在这种模式下,国家主权没有转移到中央,而是在中央共同行使。这种一体化模式适用于国家核心领域的能力建设,因为在这种情况下,职能需求会遇到组成单位不愿放弃控制权的问题。

State Pride and the Quality of Democracy in the American States 美国各州的州荣耀与民主质量
Pub Date : 2024-02-15 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae002
Patrick Flavin, Gregory Shufeldt
We evaluate whether feelings of state pride in the USA are linked to the quality of democracy in one’s state. Using two original surveys, we find no relationship between an objective measure of the quality of state democracy and feelings of state pride. In contrast, we find a consistent positive relationship between subjective evaluations and state pride such that citizens with more positive evaluations of the quality of democracy in their state report higher levels of state pride. Interestingly, feelings of state pride are not linked to the objective measure of democracy even when citizens are informed of where their state ranks in a survey experiment. However, subsample analyses reveal that there is a relationship between the objective measure and state pride among Democrats and political “losers” (citizens living in states where the government is controlled by the opposite party). We conclude by discussing implications for citizenship and state pride in an era of democratic erosion.
我们评估了美国的国家自豪感是否与所在州的民主质量有关。通过两项原始调查,我们发现客观衡量州民主质量与州自豪感之间没有关系。相反,我们发现主观评价与国家自豪感之间存在一致的正相关关系,即对本州民主质量评价更积极的公民报告的国家自豪感水平更高。有趣的是,即使公民在调查实验中被告知其所在州的排名,国家自豪感也与民主的客观衡量标准无关。然而,子样本分析显示,民主党人和政治 "失败者"(生活在政府由对立党派控制的州的公民)的客观衡量标准与国家自豪感之间存在关系。最后,我们讨论了在民主受到侵蚀的时代,公民身份和国家自豪感的意义。

Federalism, Decentral Governance, and Joint Decision-Making: Bad News for the Implementation of International Environmental Agreements? 联邦制、分权治理和联合决策:实施国际环境协定的坏消息?
Pub Date : 2024-02-13 DOI: 10.1093/publius/pjae003
Johannes Müller Gómez
There is a lingering myth in the international compliance literature that domestic multilevel structures have a negative impact on the fulfilment of international commitments. This article argues that this literature has failed to understand multilevel structures as a multi-layered concept. Instead of viewing multilevel governance as a one-dimensional concept or a mere system of veto-players, I propose to study the effects of the individual components, i.e., federalism, decentral governance, and joint decision-making. I test the plausibility of this approach by analyzing the implementation of the Ramsar Wetlands Convention. My findings debunk the myth about the negative effects of multilevel structures on the implementation of international agreements. I show that states in which subnational decision-makers can act autonomously from the central level are better placed to produce implementation measures in the area of environmental conservation.
国际履约文献中有一个挥之不去的神话,即国内多层次结构对履行国际承诺有负面影响。本文认为,这些文献未能将多层次结构理解为一个多层次的概念。我不认为多层次治理是一个单一维度的概念,也不认为多层次治理仅仅是一个 "否决者 "体系,而是建议研究联邦制、分权治理和联合决策等各个组成部分的影响。我通过分析《拉姆萨尔湿地公约》的实施情况来检验这种方法的合理性。我的研究结果揭穿了多级结构对实施国际协定有负面影响的神话。我的研究结果表明,国家以下各级决策者能够独立于中央一级自主行事的国家,更有能力在环境保护领域制定实施措施。

My findings debunk the myth about the negative effects of multilevel structures on the implementation of international agreements. I show that states in which subnational decision-makers can act autonomously from the central level are better placed to produce implementation measures in the area of environmental conservation.","PeriodicalId":507126,"journal":{"name":"Publius: The Journal of Federalism","volume":"27 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139781814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
