What causes a state to unify voluntarily with another state? If realists are        right, voluntary union should never happen. In their view, states value their        sovereignty above all else and would never give it up without a fight. Yet the        United States and Switzerland are glaring exceptions to this paradigm. If liberals        and constructivists are right, voluntary unions should be much more common and        actually increasing in frequency. After all, classic determinants of integration        such as international trade and communication are stronger than they have ever been.          Yet the number of states in the world continues to climb, and the most favorable        arena for unification, the European Union, seems to be hitting a glass ceiling. In        Uniting States, Joseph Parent argues that unions are the balancing coalitions of        last resort. Elites can weld separate states into a lasting union only when facing        particularly serious threats. Drawing on five major historical cases of union--the        United States, Switzerland, Sweden--Norway, Gran Colombia, and the European        Union--Uniting States sheds new light on political polarization, state dissolution,        federalism, and the possibility of uniting without fighting.
