Jeffrey Parker

Comparative Federalism and Intergovernmental Agreements (eBook, ePUB)

Analyzing Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland and the United States

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses both of these deficiencies by comparing the use of agreements in six federations (Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland and the United States) and considering why certain federations form more agreements than others. Parker analyzes the data using an institutional framework that considers the effects of seven variables, including the constitutional division of powers, the system of intergovernmental transfers, the size of the welfare state and the nature of governing institutions. In addition, the study provides the first ever comparative database of national intergovernmental agreements - a new resource for future research.
