Elvin T. Lim is Associate Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore. He is also the author of The Anti-Intellectual Presidency.
"In this remarkable book, Elvin Lim rethinks American political
history as an endless debate between two intertwined positions:
power to the national government versus power to the states,
effective administration versus rising democracy, federalism versus
anti-federalism. The Lovers' Quarrel is powerful, elegant,
meticulous, sweeping, brilliant, optimistic, and altogether
exciting. It should be required reading for political historians,
political
theorists, and any reader interested in understanding the American
past, its present and its future." --James A. Morone, author of The
Democratic Wish, Hellfire Nation, and The Devils We Know
"By probing the ways Americans' deep but conflicting commitments to
decentralization and nationalism have shaped American political
development and American political thought, Elvin Lim provides
stimulating insights that will spark valuable debates and shape
future scholarship." --Rogers M. Smith, Christopher H. Browne
Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of
Pennsylvania
"Elvin Lim's The Lovers' Quarrel is a very important book because
he has self-consciously and comprehensively sought to integrate the
two fields of American Political Thought and American Political
Development, both of which have attained a level of maturity, but
which have proceeded in ignorance of, or at least by largely
ignoring, each other. After Lim, this should no longer be
possible." --Michael Zuckert, Editor-in-Chief, American
Political
Thought
"There is a Renaissance in federalism studies and Elvin Lim has
made a singular contribution to it by reviving a serious analysis
of the Anti-Federalists and their tradition (as well as much more).
This is a compelling and important book which should be read by all
scholars of federalism and American political theory." --Malcolm
Feeley, Claire Sanders Clements Dean's Professor, Jurisprudence and
Social Policy Program, Boalt Hall School of Law, University of
California at Berkeley
