This book deals with the theoretical and empirical questions of
federalism in the context of five case studies: Austria, Belgium,
Canada, Germany and Switzerland. The central argument is that in
the long run the political institutions of federalism adapt to
achieve congruence with the underlying social structure. This
change could be in the centralist direction reflecting
ethno-linguistic homogeneity, or in decentralist terms
corresponding to ethno-linguistic heterogeneity. In this context,
the volume: fills a gap in the comparative federalism literature by
analyzing the patterns of change and continuity in five federal
systems of the industrial west, this is done by an in-depth
empirical examination of the case studies through a single
framework of analysis illustrates the shortcomings of
new-institutionalist approaches in explaining change, highlighting
the usefulness of society-based approaches in studying change and
continuity in comparative politics. Explaining Federalism will be
of interest to students and scholars of federalism, comparative
government, comparative institutional analysis and comparative
public policy.
