Reviews

Federal Democracies at Work is a valuable addition to comparative federalism research. It brings fresh insights into the interrelationship between the functioning of federalism and democracy and their processes of evolution. It will be essential reading for students of comparative federalism. - Lori Thorlakson, Professor of Political Science, University of Alberta A new look at democracy and federalism could not come at a better time. This book is comprehensive and innovative - highlighting how the institutions of democracy and federalism interact by focusing on the linkages among institutions. The result is new way of thinking about old issues that should lead to more analysis of the interaction between democracy and federalism over time and across countries. - Carol Weissert, LeRoy Collins Eminent Scholar and Chair of Civic Education and Political Science, Florida State University As ideas, federalism and democracy are inseparable, but in their collective operation there are paradoxes and tensions. This book presents an enlightening analysis of the complex relationship between two important political principles as they take shape in political systems. - Andre Lecours, Professor of Political Studies, University of Ottawa
