From The Earliest Days To The Present Times.
Substate nationalism is often studied as a question of political
identity and cultural recognition. The same applies to the study of
multinational federalism - it is mainly conceived as a tool for the
accommodation of minority cultures and identities. Few works in
political philosophy and political science pay attention to the
fiscal and redistributive dimensions of substate nationalism and
multinational federalism. Yet nationalist movements in Western
countries make crucial claims about fiscal autonomy and the fair
distribution of resources between national groups within the same
state. In recent years, Scottish nationalists have demanded greater
tax autonomy, Catalan and Flemish nationalists have viewed
themselves as unfairly disadvantaged by centralized fiscal
arrangements, and equalization payments and social transfers in
Canada have exacerbated tensions within the federation. In Fiscal
Federalism in Multinational States contributors from political
philosophy and political science disciplines explore the fiscal
side of substate nationalism in Canada, Belgium, the United
Kingdom, Spain, and Australia. Chapters examine the connection
between secessionist claims and interregional redistributive
arrangements, power relations in federations where taxing and
spending responsibilities are shared between orders of government,
the relationship between substate nationalism and fiscal autonomy,
and the role of federal governments in redistributing resources
among substate national groups. Fiscal Federalism in Multinational
States brings together scholars of nationalism and federalism in a
groundbreaking analysis of the connections between nationalist
claims and fiscal debates within plurinational states.
