Federalism is one of the most influential concepts in modern
political discourse: a building block of modern governance, but
also the focus of immense controversy. As esteemed scholars Malcolm
M. Feeley and Edward Rubin show, much of this controversy stems
from theoretical vagueness inherent in contemporary definitions of
the term. The multiethnic states that emerged from the imperial
collapses at the turn of the twentieth century - and which
generally moved toward stable, democratic governments in the
ensuing decades - have given rise to almost limitless variations on
the basic federalist premise of a coordinated central government
sharing power with subnational units.This proliferation has eroded
hopes for a single, coherent definition of federalism. Instead,
ambiguity has left the concept susceptible to use as an instrument
of rhetoric and ideology. Feeley and Rubin expose the ambiguities
of modern federalism, offering a powerful but generous treatise on
the modern salience of the term.This book provides a new analysis
of a fundamental concept in politics and law, by a pair of
influential and respected scholars.
