Presidential Federalism: The Role of Presidents in Shaping National-State Relationsuniquely  reframes the traditional approach to and periodization of federalism  through the lens of presidential politics. It explores how modern  presidents, through their policy priorities and presidential rhetoric,  have shaped andshifted  our understanding of federalism. Standard treatments of federalism tend  to focus on judicial, legal interpretation of competing jurisdictional  authority, creating periods of changeable federal-to-state authority  within which political actors, including presidents, must operate.  The periodization that is prevalent in the literature on federalism  only loosely corresponds to specific presidential administrations and changesin presidential policy regarding the exercise of federal power. Yet, presidents also play an important role in shaping federalism–setting the policy agenda and the preferred venue (federal or state) in which policy issues are fought.Presidential Federalismcontributes to gaps in the intergovernmental relations and management  perspectives of contemporary federalism that overlook or underplay  executive influence in the changing understanding of federal and state  relationships and the practical realities for policy actors operating withindifferent administrations.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa K.
