This book investigates the politics of federalism reform in Germany
which has spanned over more than a decade. Different from reform
attempts in other federal countries, the German reform was split up
in three distinct steps: an adjustment of legislative powers
between the federal and the state level, followed by the
introduction of the 'debt brake'; and, finally, the reform of
fiscal equalization. Against the background of this sequential
reform, this book not only discusses the effects of single reform
steps, but also examines the results and inconsistencies of the
overall reform process and reconsiders its cumulated effects. The
contributions collected in this volume cover a broad range of
reform aspects, among them historical aspects, the role of party
politics, changes in the legislative process, and the resurgence of
joint decision-making. All chapters contribute to the theoretical
framework which sheds a fresh view on the dynamics of federalism
reforms. The chapters originally published in a special issue of
Regional and Federal Studies.
