商品簡介
Finding state-to-state relations to be a neglected topic in the literature on US federalism, Zimmerman (political science, State U. of New York at Albany) offers a review of how the US Constitution regulates interstate disputes and agreements, focusing on the constitutional provisions related to interstate commerce, full faith and credit, rendition of fugitives from justice, and privileges and immunities. He also addresses ongoing issues of interstate relations including trade barriers, economic competition, tax revenue competition, and interstate cooperation. Zimmerman is not shy about identifying those areas where he thinks current constitutional jurisprudence fails to address ongoing problems and offering recommendations for improving interstate relations.
