This book explores new avenues of international research in
comparative federal studies. It re-examines the conceptual tools
and methodologies for understanding federal systems, and the role
of comparative federalism in the dissemination and implementation
of federal concepts. It highlights the influence of comparative
federalism on constitution-making as well as constitutional
reforms. The volume provides innovative and pragmatic perspectives
from both the Global North and the Global South, with case studies
drawn from established federations such as India, Canada,
Australia, and Austria, and emerging federal systems such as Italy
and South Africa. Advocating a combined approach that integrates
modern and traditional theoretical routes with practical insights
and contemporary analyses, it discusses the issues of multilevel
elections and federal governance; coalition governments and
multiparty democracy in parliamentary federal systems, such as
India; minority empowerment; gender budgeting; self-governance;
multinational federalism; unitary states; the nation-state; and
degenerating federalism. It also breaks new ground by looking at
federalism from a gender perspective and deals with tools for
measuring fiscal responsibility, and a social and cultural index. A
tribute to the intellectual legacy of Ronald L. Watts, this volume
will be useful to scholars and researchers of political science,
federalism, comparative federal studies, political studies,
comparative politics, governance, public administration and law,
development studies, South Asian studies, and Global South and
North studies as well policymakers, international government
bodies, research institutes, development experts, and other
organisations working in the area.
