The essays in this volume, written by well-known economists and
other social scientists from North America, Europe and Australia,
share to an unusual degree a common concern with the competitive
mechanisms that underlie collective decisions and with the way they
are embedded in institutional settings. This gives the book a
unitary inspiration whose value is clear from the understanding and
insights its chapters provide on important theoretical and
practical issues such as the social dimension and impact of trust,
the management of information in bureaucratic settings, the role of
political parties in constitutional evolution, inter-level rivalry
and reassignments of powers in federal and unitary systems of
government, the impact of ethnicity and nationalism on federal
institutions or arrangements, and the response of governments and
overarching institutions of globalization. The essays were written
in honour of Albert Breton, a pioneer in this field of
investigation.
