This edited volume explores the obstacles to and opportunities for the development and entrenchment of a sustainable and representative multinational federalism. In doing so, it tackles a striking puzzle: on the one hand, scholars agree that deeply diverse multinational and multiethnic democracies should adopt federal structures that reflect and empower territorially concentrated diversity. On the other hand, there are very few, if any, real examples of enshrined and fully operative substantive multinational federalism. What are the main roadblocks to the adoption of multinational federalism? Can they be overcome? Is there a roadmap to realizing multinational federalism in the twenty-first century? In addressing these questions, this book brings together scholars from across the globe who explore a diverse range of cases from different and innovative analytical approaches. The chapters contribute to answering the above questions, each in their own way, while also addressing other important aspects of multinational federalism. The book concludes that the way forward likely depends on the emergence of a specific set of norms and a receptiveness to the complex institutional design. Alain-G.

"Canadian Federalism is Canada's leading text on federal institutions and processes. The fourth edition represents a major update of the previous edition and covers all the major developments of the past decade, including Prime Minister Harper's battles with the Supreme Court, as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's efforts at a more cooperative approach to intergovernmental relations. One of the two new chapters in this edition deals with criminal justice and criminal law; the other, with comparative federalism. Specific topics include: the Supreme Court's renewed emphasis on cooperative federalism and a federal-provincial balance tilted more in favour of the provinces; the Trudeau government's efforts to broker a deal between provinces over pipelines and carbon taxes as part its commitment under the Paris Climate Change accord; the strains posed on federal-provincial relations with the influx of refugees; and the changing role of Ottawa and the provinces towards cities and accommodating indigenous rights. Examination of these key issues includes discussion of the implications of the 2019 federal election and recent provincial elections."--

"As James Madison led America's effort to write its Constitution, he made two great inventions-the separation of powers and federalism. The first is more famous, but the second was most essential because, without federalism, there could have been no United States of America. Federalism has always been about setting the balance of power between the federal government and the states-and that's revolved around deciding just how much inequality the country was prepared to accept in exchange for making piece among often-warring states. Through the course of its history, the country has moved through a series of phases, some of which put more power into the hands of the federal government, and some rested more power in the states. Sometimes this rebalancing led to armed conflict. The Civil War, of course, almost split the nation permanently apart. And sometimes it led to political battles. By the end of the 1960s, however, the country seemed to have settled into a quiet agreement that inequality was a prime national concern, that the federal government had the responsibility for addressing it through its own policies, and that the states would serve as administrative agents of that policy. But as that agreement seemed set, federalism drifted from national debate, just as the states began using their administrative role to push in very different directions. The result has been a rising tide of inequality, with the great invention that helped create the nation increasingly driving it apart"--

This 46-chapter book, written by leading experts across the globe, compares and contrasts the foreign relations law of nations around the world, both documenting important differences and also noting commonalities and emerging trends. Comparative foreign relations law is a newly emerging field of study and teaching, and this volume is likely to become a key reference work as the field continues to develop.

"Asking clear, direct and theoretically informed questions about the relationship between federalism, decentralisation and authoritarianism, this book explores the political survival of authoritarian leaders, the determinants of policy formulation and theories of federalism and decentralization to construct new frameworks for studying territorial governance across a range of authoritarian political systems"--

Das Verständnis von gemeinsamen Werten spielt vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussion um die Fortentwicklung der europäischen Integration sowie angesichts der Zunahme von rechtspopulistischen Tendenzen in Europa eine große Rolle. Dies betrifft sowohl die wissenschaftliche Debatte und öffentliche Meinung als auch die aktuelle Politik innerhalb der EU. Auch das deutsch-polnische Verhältnis wird auf die Probe gestellt.Der Sammelband befasst sich mit Gemeinsamkeiten, Gegensätzen, Argumenten und Gegenargumenten im deutschen und polnischen Verständnis der europäischen Integration. Hierbei werden gleichermaßen verschiedene Blickpunkte auf Begriffsdeutungen der Werte und Prinzipien, auf denen die EU basiert wie auch empirische Forschung zu Politikfeldern im binationalen Kontext einer Analyse unterzogen.(Nachwuchs-)WissenschaftlerInnen und AnalytikerInnen aus Deutschland und Polen wirkten an der Publikation mit. Der Ansatz ist multiperspektivisch, interdisziplinär und lösungsorientiert.Mit Beiträgen von:Kai-Olaf Lang, Magdalena Musiał-Karg, Adam Jaskulski, Adrian Chojan, Mikołaj J.
