Federalism, Localism, and Constitutionalism
Local governments may be superior to both state
and federal government in shaping the constitutional principles
governing our lives. Are we in need of a more robust constitutional
localism, or does current constitutional doctrine adequately
allocate power between the three levels of government?

The Privatization of Public
Services
Private, sub-local institutions, such as homeowners
associations, are increasingly occupying the space once
monopolized by local government. How have these institutions
affected the way citizens understand their communities?
Have these institutions replaced the role of local government
in the lives of local citizens, or are the two complimentary?
Should we suppress these institutions, or is suppression
futile due to the power of the market economy?

Left Behind: The Status
of American Cities
