Thomas Hueglin and Alan Fenna draw from their diverse research on federal systems to argue that federalism is increasingly important for democratic governance and conflict management in a globalizing world. They discuss the meaning of federal principles and institutional compromise in the organization of federal systems and then introduce four main model federal systems: America  Canada  Germany  and the European Union. But they dont stop therethey also offer an exploration of federal systems that vary from the four main models  including Switzerland  Australia  Belgium  South Africa  and Spain.  The book also compares federal systems through an examination of the differing European and North American traditions in the history of federal thought. Institutional features of federal systems are evaluated  as are the crucial role that constitutional amendment and judicial review play for the stability and evolutionary dynamic of federal systems. This book serves the dual role of helping the reader understand federalism and providing a comparative framework from which to assess the record of federal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924157300789,"sku":"ByrdShop_1551114100","price":248.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781551114101.jpg?v=1794129632","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/comparative-federalism-a-systematic-inquiry-9781551114101","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
