Abstract

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.
2023-2024 年美国联邦主义的现状:僵局政治的司法化
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。
