In this provocative and wide-ranging book, Ken Kollman examines the
histories of the U.S. government, the Catholic Church, General
Motors, and the European Union as examples of federated systems
that centralized power over time. He shows how their institutions
became locked-in to intensive power in the executive. The problem
with these and other federated systems is that they often cannot
decentralize even if it makes sense. The analysis leads Kollman to
suggest some surprising changes in institutional design for these
four cases and for federated institutions everywhere.
