In an era of populist nationalism, it is important to better understand Indian federalism. This book offers insightful perspectives on federalist cooperation and competition through practical case analyses of important policies. John Kincaid, Professor, Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Timely and well-documented. Young scholars throw light on varied aspects of the multilevel federal system which holds India together. Balveer Arora, Chairman, Centre for Multilevel Federalism & Former Professor & Rector-Pro Vice-Chancellor, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India This book is a welcome contribution to scholarship exploring the operation of federal principles in the most highly populated federation in the world. Nicholas Aroney, Professor Constitutional Law, University of Queensland, Australia This volume indeed lives up to its title in covering the new dimensions. Rekha Saxena has done a wonderful job of bringing together an upcoming crop of scholars to provide insights into current issues of federal practice in India. By looking at intergovernmental relations through the lens of globalization, environmental policy and fiscal federalism the volume provides readers with a better understanding of the imperatives and motivations behind recent policy choices made by governments in India. I highly recommend this volume for anyone interested in contemporary India. Rupak Chattopadhyay, President and CEO, Forum of Federations, Canada
