As a result of the division or sharing of powers between levels of government, there remains considerable uncertainty about how rules or patterns of politics resulting from the division or sharing of powers between levels of government and between the executive and legislative branches interact. Combining theoretical analyses and selected case studies, Federal Democracies at Work contributes to our understanding of the complex relations between federalism and democracy. Throughout the volume, contributing authors elaborate and apply an innovative analytical framework to provide greater clarity on the complex relations between federalism and democracy. As a whole, the volume explores how different institutional configurations of federal democracies alleviate or intensify inherent tensions, how actors grapple and cope with the challenge of these complexities, and how structures evolve in consequence of rising conflicts, institutional reforms, or adjustments. In doing so, Federal Democracies at Work advances research on comparative federalism and works toward a better understanding of how these compound systems work."-- |
