ArticlePublisher: September 2002Public Administration Review 62, 5, p. 181-192Abstract: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, provoked, among other reactions, considerable commentary about the future of American federalism, particularly predictions of administrative centralization. To assess the potential impact of terrorism on U.S. intergovernmental relations and the ways the federal system should respond, members on the American Political Science Association's these federalism scholars believe the September 11 terrorism will have little effect on intergovernmental relations or on the U.S. Supreme Court's state-friendly jurisprudence, and the surge in public trust and confidence in the federalgovernment will be short-lived. The scholars tend to support a highly federalized response to terrorism, but with intergovernmental cooperation. Partisan differenes among the sholars on policy options, however, mirror the party differences in Congress and the resurgence of "politics as usual" less than a year after September 11, 2001
