The Increasingly United States

How and Why American Political Behavior Nationalized

Book • 2018

Daniel J. Hopkins

In *The Increasingly United States*, Daniel J. Hopkins examines how American political behavior has become more nationalized, contrasting with the federalist system's assumption that citizens would prioritize state and local allegiances.

This shift profoundly affects voter representation and political polarization.

Hopkins uses extensive quantitative and qualitative evidence to illustrate these changes and their impact on democracy.
