Federalism has played a central role in charting educational
progress in many countries. With an evolving balance between
centralization and decentralization, federalism is designed to
promote accountability standards without tempering regional and
local preferences. Federalism facilitates negotiations both
vertically between the central authority and local entities as well
as horizontally among diverse interests. Innovative educational
practices are often validated by a few local entities prior to
scaling up to the national level. Because of the division of
revenue sources between central authority and decentralized
entities, federalism encourages a certain degree of fiscal
competition at the local and regional level. The balance of
centralization and decentralization also varies across
institutional and policy domains, such as the legislative framework
for education, drafting of curricula, benchmarking for
accountability, accreditation, teacher training, and administrative
responsibilities at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
Given these critical issues in federalism and education, this
volume examines ongoing challenges and policy strategies in ten
countries, namely Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany,
Italy, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
These chapters and the introductory overview aim to examine how
countries with federal systems of government design, govern,
finance, and assure quality in their educational systems spanning
from early childhood to secondary school graduation. Particular
attention is given to functional division between governmental
layers of the federal system as well as mechanisms of
intergovernmental cooperation both vertically and horizontally. The
chapters aim to draw out comparative lessons and experiences in an
area of great importance to not only federal countries but also
countries that are emerging toward a federal system.
Der Band befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, ob der Foederalismus
in Deutschland in seiner jetzigen Form noch den Herausforderungen
der Zukunft gewachsen ist, oder ob es weiterer, auch das
Grundgesetz betreffender Reformen bedarf. Aufbauend auf einer
Ruckschau, die die einschneidenden Entwicklungen im deutschen
Bundesstaat insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund bedeutender
Grundgesetzreformen wurdigt, folgt eine Bestandsaufnahme des
aktuellen Zustands in den Bereichen Bildung, Innere Sicherheit und
Integrationspolitik. Hierbei werden einerseits das Ausmass an
Wandel und Konstanz des deutschen Foederalismus ermittelt.
Andererseits werden seine Leistungs- und Zukunftsfahigkeit sowie
moegliche Reformbedarfe in international vergleichender Perspektive
durch eine Analyse alternativer Foederalismusmodelle diskutiert.
