What does federalism do to welfare states? This question arises in
scholarly debates about policy design as well as in discussions
about the right political institutions for a country. It has
frustrated many, with federalism seeming to matter in all sorts of
combinations with all sorts of issues, from nationalism to racism
to intergovernmental competition. The diffuse federalism literature
has not come to compelling answers for very basic questions. Scott
L. Greer, Daniel BEland, AndrE Lecours, and Kenneth A. Dubin argue
for a new approach-one methodologically focused on configurations
of variables within cases rather than a fruitless attempt to
isolate "the" effect of federalism; and one that is substantively
engaged with identifying key elements in configurations as well as
with when and how their interactions matter. Born out of their work
on a multi-year, eleven-country project (now published as
Federalism and Social Policy: Patterns of Redistribution in Eleven
Countries, University of Michigan Press, 2019), this book comprises
a methodological and substantive agenda. Methodologically, the
authors shift to studies that embraced and understood the
complexity within which federal political institutions operate.
Substantively, they make an argument for the importance of
plurinationalism, changing economic interests, and institutional
legacies.
