Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The State of American Federalism, 2004: �Is Federalism still a core value�? Abstract Federalism as a political issue was conspicuously absent from the 2004 presidential contest. The war against global terrorism and the changing situation in Iraq shaped the election. Progress on homeland security moved forward, but intergovernmental wrangling over federal grants continued unabated. Federal-state feuds were common in several policy areas, including education, environmental protection, and health care. State finances received a revenue boost as economic growth picked up, but rising costs for Medicaid, education, employee pensions, and prisons clouded their financial forecast. The U.S. Supreme Court decided several cases with a federalism dimension, and these decisions plus those of the last several years suggest the Court has moved not so much to grant more power to the states, but rather the Court has moved to prune back the power of Congress. For the first time in over three decades the national government is not �divided,� � one party holds the reins of power. In the absence of countervailing pressure from the minority party, the majority has enhanced its control over policy by changing institutional rules with the effect of ending many traditions of bipartisanship. Furthermore, the majority party has been successful in constructing an increasingly centralized intergovernmental network of interest groups and non-profit organizations. These changes in party organization and policy control, especially during the first Bush Administration, reaffirm David Walker�s assessment that over the past quarter century American federalism has become more nationalized.
