    Federalist No. 44: What Is the Role of Intergovernmental Relations in Federalism?
    in Public Administration Review , Volume 71, Issue Supplement s1 ,  2011 ,  s68–s77
    Federalist No. 44 examines the connective mechanisms underlying a federal system of government. Traditionally called “intergovernmental relations,” these systems were intended to facilitate the pursuit of effective implementation of national policies. This essay suggests that the national government's officers should not be impressed by collaboration unless it produces better performance or lower costs. Collaboration is a means to an end, not an absolute requirement.
