1 THE ROBUST FEDERATION The Robust Federation offers a comprehensive approach to the study of federalism. demonstrates how complementary institutions maintain and adjust the distribution of authority between national and state governments. These authority boundaries matter for defense, economic growth, and adequate political representation and must be defended from opportunistic transgression. From Montesquieu to Madison, the legacy of early institutional analysis focuses attention on the value of competition between institutions, such as the policy moderation produced through separated powers. Bednar offers a reciprocal theory: in an effective constitutional system, institutions complement one another; each makes the others more powerful. Diverse but complementary safeguards including the courts, political parties, and the people cover different transgressions, punish to different extents, and fail under different circumstances. The analysis moves beyond equilibrium conceptions and explains how the rules that allocate authority are not fixed but shift gradually. Bednar s rich theoretical characterization of complementary institutions provides the first holistic account of federal robustness. is an associate professor of political science at the University of Michigan. Her work crosses disciplines, addressing constitutional questions using the methods of complex systems analysis and game theory, and has been published in law reviews as well as journals in economics, political science, and sociology. Professor Bednar received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in

9 Acknowledgments Some books seem to write themselves. Ideas spring out of the author s mind, arguments fully formed, as the fingers race to capture them on paper. This is not one of those books. The arguments in these pages were shaped by workshop audiences and colleagues who generously took the time to offer suggestions. Thanks to the graduate students and faculty at the Santa Fe Institute, Texas A & M, Michigan, Rochester, NYU, Chicago, George Mason, Penn State, Washington University, University of Wisconsin, Wilfred Laurier University, UCLA, and Stanford for your reactions; I hope that many of you find your fingerprints on this book. Thanks to Bob Axelrod, Cliff Carrubba, Bill Clark, John Ferejohn, Barry Friedman, Liz Gerber, Anna Grzymala-Busse, Daniel Halberstam, Don Herzog, Simon Hug, Jim Johnson, Orit Kedar, Ken Kollman, Larry Kramer, Rob Mikos, Burt Monroe, Scott Page, Sunita Parikh, Jonathan Rodden, and Craig Volden, my kind colleagues who provided detailed comments: I have finished this project now and am ready to return the favor. I am also grateful to John Ferejohn and Barry Weingast, whose writings inspired my approach to constitutional analysis, and Jack Rakove, for introducing me to James Madison and encouraging me to use my skills in formal analysis when reading his writings. For superb research assistance I am indebted to Carolina de Miguel Moyer, Olesya Tkacheva, Colleen Castle, and three intrepid first-year Michigan undergraduates: Zeke Daniels-Shpall, Christina Spallina, and Alexandra Tilén. And thank you to the University of Michigan s Center for Local, State, and Urban Politics for the funds to pay for this assistance. In addition to the transformative effect it has had on my research, the Santa Fe Institute provided warm hospitality over several summers of intense writing. Stanford s Hoover Institution generously provided me xi
