Comparative Federalism
In an increasingly crowded field, this new book on comparative federalism stands out for its iconoclasm, for its illuminating and entertaining selection of illustrative examples, but most of all for a significant methodological breakthrough that makes the book both more useful and more coherent than most of its predecessors. At first glance, Palermo and Kössler’s book Comparative Federalism seems conventional enough. It begins with coverage of fo…
Canadian Federalism in Design and Practice
This paper examines the interaction between constitutional design and practice through a case study of Canadian federalism. Focusing on the federal architecture of the Canadian Constitution, the paper examines how subnational units in Canada actually compete with the central government, emphasizing the concrete strategies and tactics they most commonly employ to get their way in confrontations with central authority. The evidence affirms that con…
Constitutional Dynamics in Federal Systems
In this intriguing volume, editors Michael Burgess and G. Alan Tarr invite the reader to consider the workings of federalism not from the vantage point of the federal state, but from the point of view of the subnational units of which such states are comprised. In thirteen chapters, the editors take the federalism tourist on a journey across Europe and North America that stops only briefly in the national capitals before plunging into less famili…

Experience shows, however, that national and subnational actors in highly diverse systems are capable of developing a rich array of extraconstitutional methods of mutual influence, so that the formal, constitutionalized balance of power rarely settles the question o…
What are Campaigns For?
Election campaigns ought to be serious occasions in the life of a democratic polity—or so we profess to believe. Americans, however, are haunted by the fear that their election campaigns fall far short of the ideal to which they aspire. The typical modern American election campaign seems crass, shallow, and unengaging. The arena of our democratic politics lies in an uncomfortable chasm between our political ideals and everyday reality. This book …
What are Campaigns For? The Role of Persuasion in Electoral Law and Politics
Election campaigns ought to be serious occasions in the life of a democratic polity. For citizens of a democracy, an election is a time to take stock-to reexamine our beliefs; to review our understanding of our own interests; to ponder the place of those interests in the larger social order; and to contemplate, and if necessary to revise, our understanding of how our commitments are best translated into governmental policy-or so we profess to bel…
