As a result of the division or sharing of powers between levels of government, there remains considerable uncertainty about how rules or patterns of politics between the executive and legislative branches interact. Combining theoretical analyses and selected case studies, \u003ci\u003eFederal Democracies at Work\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to our understanding of the complex relations between federalism and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the volume, contributing authors elaborate and apply an innovative analytical framework to provide greater clarity on the complex relations between federalism and democracy. As a whole, the volume explores how different institutional configurations of federal democracies alleviate or intensify inherent tensions; how actors grapple and cope with the challenge of these complexities; and how structures evolve as a result of rising conflicts and institutional reforms or adjustments. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eFederal Democracies at Work\u003c\/i\u003e advances research on comparative federalism and works toward a better understanding of how these compound systems work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Benz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487509006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487509002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Arthur Benz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993528893695,"sku":"9781487509002","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af108428-6459-43c3-bc28-0dc4e572429b.jpg?v=1683324832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/federal-democracies-at-work-arthur-benz-9781487509002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
