A francophone political culture? Similarities and differences among French speakers in Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and France
This paper explores whether language shapes political culture by examining the case of French and a possible transnational francophone political culture. Using original survey data from Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and France collected in autumn 2020, we find only small within-country differences between francophones and non-francophones and limited transnational alignment. National patterns dominate even in multilingual federations with divided…
Authoritarianism, democracy and de/centralization in federations
What is the impact of democracy/authoritarianism regime change on de/ centralization in federations? Based on the annual coding of three politicoinstitutional aspects, 22 policy fields, and five fiscal categories, this article maps de/centralization in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria and Pakistan from the establishment of their respective federal orders to 2020. It shows that de/centralization varies greatly across its different dimensions as …
Helping hand or centralizing tool? The politics of conditional grants in Australia, Canada, and the United States
Conditional grant programs are widely used in federal systems to address the tension between decentralized policy provision and territorial equity, given constraints on constituent units' ability to raise revenues. While enhancing their financial capacity, conditional grants are often seen as reducing constituent units' policy autonomy. Against this backdrop, this article examines the actual impact conditional grants have on the capacity and auto…
Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Theorizing Dynamic De/Centralization in Federations
This article develops a conceptual, methodological, and theoretical framework for analyzing dynamic de/centralization in federations. It first reviews the literature and outlines the research design and methods adopted. It then conceptualizes static de/centralization and describes the seven-point coding scheme we employed to measure it across twenty-two policy areas and five fiscal categories at ten-year intervals since the establishment of a fed…
Dynamic De/Centralization in Federations
This article presents the conclusions of the project Why Centralization and Decentralization in Federations?, which analyzed dynamic de/centralization in Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Switzerland, and the United States over their entire life span. It highlights six main conclusions. First, dynamic de/centralization is complex and multidimensional; it cannot be captured by fiscal data alone. Second, while centralization was the dominant trend…
Dynamic De/Centralization in Switzerland, 1848–2010
Part of the project Why Centralization and Decentralization in Federations?, this article studies dynamic de/centralization in Switzerland since 1848 and seeks to account for the patterns observed. It shows that, overall, there has been a wide-ranging process of legislative centralization, whereas the cantons have retained considerable administrative and, especially, fiscal autonomy. The principal instrument of dynamic centralization has been con…
Centripetal Democracy
In this latest addition to the burgeoning literature on democracy in the European Union, Joseph Lacey argues that a democratic deficit threatens the European Union’s future but that it would be possible for the Union to achieve democratic legitimacy. Reforms changing the link between European Parliament elections and the composition of the European Commission, and expanding the use of direct democracy would go a long way toward attaining that obj…
Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Mapping State Structures—with an Application to Western Europe, 1950–2015
This article addresses long-standing challenges in conceptualizing and measuring de/centralization in unitary and federal systems. It first outlines a novel conceptualization of de/centralization and its relation to the unitary/federal distinction and a/symmetry, from which it derives static and dynamic typologies of state structures. Building on a critical review of the Regional Authority Index, the article develops a scheme for measuring de/cen…
Langue, culture politique et centralisation en Suisse
Cette contribution aborde le rôle de la langue dans la vie politique suisse en se penchant sur son influence sur les structures étatiques. À partir d’une approche méthodologique alliant l’analyse quantitative à celle qualitative, nous étudions les attitudes envers la dé/centralisation des pouvoirs publics soit dans les relations cantons-Confédération – dé/centralisation nationale – que dans celles cantons-communes – dé/centralisation cantonale. L…
Challenging the State
Over the last decade or so, there has been a shift of focus in the literature on devolution, away from structural factors and towards the agency of political parties. This book marks a significant
European integration, party strategies, and state restructuring
To what extent and in what way does European integration fuel state restructuring? This is a long-standing but still not a fully answered question. While the theoretical literature suggests a positive link between the two, previous empirical studies have reached contrasting conclusions. The article offers an alternative testing of the proposition, centred on the role of party strategies as a causal mechanism, analysed across space and time. On th…

Local Government Paradiplomacy in the UK
This article investigates the Kent-Virginia Project, a recent partnership between Kent County Council (KCC) and the US state of Virginia, as a case study of local government paradiplomacy in the UK. It sets the project in the context of the growing international involvement of local government, which has so far largely been neglected in the literature. It seeks to explain why KCC embarked on this initiative and to identify what opportunities and …
The acid test? Competing theses on the nationality – democracy nexus and the case of Switzerland
This article deals with the connection between nationality and democracy and explores the role Switzerland plays in the scholarly debate on this question. It identifies three main theses – liberal‐nationalist, liberal‐multinationalist and liberal‐postnationalist – and shows that each of them uses the Swiss case to claim empirical support. It then analyses the connections between nationality and democracy in Switzerland and demonstrates that the c…
Europeanization as Heresthetics
This article is a theoretical and empirical contribution to the study of the Europeanization of political parties. On the theoretical side, it draws on the concepts of heresthetics and two-level games to conceptualize a Europeanization mechanism that has so far been overlooked in the literature. It shows that Europeanization can be a heresthetic tool in party competition, notably in terms of opening up a new dimension that may result in a realign…

The Swiss federal elections of 2007
Conclusions
This volume has drawn on the experience of some prominent federal and confederal systems in order to shed light on the transformations of the EU that may be brought about by the Constitutional Treaty signed in October 2004. This concluding article will focus on some key points that emerge from the case studies and offer some comparative reflections applied to the European Union. Four broad issues appear to have a particularly strong bearing on th…
The dynamics of confederalism and federalism
This article outlines the modern historical evolution of the Swiss political system and describes the main features of its contemporary federalism. In particular, it focuses on how the division of competences and the distribution of power have changed over time, on the factors which have driven these changes, leading to a description of the current situation created by these developments. It then compares the Swiss experience with that of the Eur…
Democratic Deficit or the Europeanisation of Secession? Explaining the Devolution Referendums in Scotland
This article deals with the variation in the demand for self-government in Scotland – as measured by the vote in the two referendums – between 1979, when devolution was rejected, and 1997, when devolution was endorsed. The existing literature mainly deals with each of the two referendums in isolation and does not offer an explicitly comparative analysis of them. However, implicit comparisons contained in analyses of the 1997 referendum tend to id…
