Cooperative interstate relations are essential for maintaining the economic and political union established by the United States Constitution. Despite this importance, interstate compacts, federal-state compacts, and interstate administrative agreements have generally been neglected by political scientists for more than half a century. In this second edition of Interstate Cooperation, Joseph F. Zimmerman demonstrates that many public goals can be achieved by either a compact or an agreement. Interstate administrative agreements, moreover, may be verbal or written, and have increased sharply in number because their flexibility allows changes to be made quickly without legislative authorization. Zimmerman aims to stimulate additional research on these forms of interstate cooperation in order to help formulate additional innovative solutions to our major interstate problems.

Zimmerman places in perspective the important roles played by interstate compacts and interstate administrative agreements in the governance systems of the United States. Compacts are identified and classified by type. Particular emphasis is placed on federal government promotion of compacts, including the U.S. Congress enactment of federal-state compacts in which the federal government joins member states as partners to achieve stated goals. Formal and informal interstate administrative agreements have increased in number dramatically during the past six decades and relate to both minor and very important issues. Credit for many interstate administrative agreements must be ascribed to associations of state government officers which encourage their members to promote interstate cooperation and also draft model state laws and administrative agreements. Although compacts and agreements have lubricated the functioning of the United States governmental system, as Zimmerman makes clear, the full potential of compacts and agreements has not been achieved to date, and he makes recommendations to improve the level of interstate cooperation. An important resource for scholars and students of American government—federal, state, and local—as well as administrators and policymakers.

The law governing formal agreements between U.S. states is unique. Litwak's Interstate Compact Law continues to throw bright light on all facets of compact law as it compares and contrasts compact law with other intergovernmental agreements. This new edition, the Fourth, includes a new chapter on compacts with international participation.Covering materials through Spring 2020, the book includes all the cases, both historical and recent, that are vital to understanding the ways that states cooperate through interstate compacts. The cases have been edited to focus on the compact at issue, in addition to core legal principles. Notes and questions present related materials, supporting and contrary examples, and inviting discussion points.Examining how and why States cooperate, Litwak takes students through the interwoven constitutional, contractual, and administrative law of compacts. Still the only comprehensive book about the law of such agreements, Interstate Compact Law prepares lawyers to apply compact law principles to any manner of intergovernmental cooperation, including states' agreements with foreign governments.
