The book provides a comprehensive analysis of local government in
federations. It fills the gap in current legal research and
positions local government in federal studies through the lenses of
comparative law, adopting a more nuanced approach to local
government. The book considers the shortcomings between the
black-letter constitution and its operational rules. Whether (and
how) the regime of local government is implemented is more relevant
than its formal-but-ineffective recognition. The comparative survey
discloses the variety local institutions take in different federal
contexts. Divided into three parts, the book comprises chapters
investigating local government in systems that, to various degrees,
have been examined and classified as federal. Scholars throughout
the world have examined the federal-local connection in aggregative
federations, (the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and
Austria), devolutionary ones (Belgium, Bosnia Herzegovina, Italy,
Spain, the UK, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and the Russian
Federation), as well as in federations beyond the West, where
federalism-as-a-colonial-legacy has undergone a process of
reinvention affecting the federal-local connection (South Africa,
Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo,
Nepal, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia; St. Kitts and Nevis;
United Arab Emirates; and Pakistan).
