An authoritative guide to federal democracy from two respected
experts in the field Around the world, federalism has emerged as
the system of choice for nascent republics and established nations
alike. In this book, leading scholars and governmental advisers
Robert Inman and Daniel Rubinfeld consider the most promising forms
of federal governance and the most effective path to enacting
federal policies. The result is an essential guide to federalism,
its principles, its applications, and its potential to enhance
democratic governance. Drawing on the latest work from economics,
political science, and law, Inman and Rubinfeld assess different
models of federalism and their relative abilities to promote
economic efficiency, encourage the participation of citizens, and
protect individual liberties. Under the right conditions, the
authors argue, a federal democracy—including a national
legislature with locally elected representatives—can best achieve
these goals. Because a stable union between the national and local
governments is key, Inman and Rubinfeld also propose an innovative
method for evaluating new federal laws and their possible impact on
state and local governments. Finally, to show what the adoption of
federalism can mean for citizens, the authors discuss the evolution
of governance in the European Union and South Africa’s transition
from apartheid to a multiracial democracy. Interdisciplinary in
approach, Democratic Federalism brims with applicable policy ideas
and comparative case studies of global significance. This book is
indispensable for understanding the importance of federal forms of
government—both in recent history and, crucially, for future
democracies.

These essays discuss the service sector, an often neglected area of
economic study. The contributors agree that services are replacing
manufacturing as the employment base in more advanced economies.
Their essays provide valuable insight into the causes, problems and
prospects of this transition. Commissioned for the Wharton-ARA
Conference on the Service Economy, this collection examines the
rise of the prevailing economic order in the United States,
Japanese, and international economies and the future and potential
of the service sector. The volume concludes with an agenda for
future research and policy of the service company.
