<h3>What is a cooperative federalism?</h3>
Interlocking (cooperative) federalism (sometimes known as marble-cake federalism) is a form of government in which the federal and state governments share authority and collaborate on specific concerns.

Cooperative federalism would be a relatively new phenomenon. Its major characteristics—sharing of policy responsibility and financial resources, administration dependency, and function overlapping—are primarily connected with federal grant-in-aid programs.
