    Federalism and Identity: Reflections on the American Experience
    in Europe en formation (L') , n. 369, 2013/3 ,  2013 ,  20-38
    Two centuries ago, Americans identified primarily with the states in which they lived, but today they view the United States as their primary loyalty. This article analyzes what produced this shift in political identity and explores its effect on American federalism. It identifies the various factors that have been proposed as creating political identity, looks at their operation (or non-operation) in the United States, and concludes with an assessment of the underpinnings of contemporary American federalism.
