This book provides a critical account of federal asymmetry in India - its origins, context, forms and functioning - by taking into account the institutional effectiveness of asymmetric institutions in the regions for identity fulfillment, development and governance. It argues that while some asymmetry, de jure/ or de facto, is part of all federations for meeting some special circumstances, in India, which has followed a different path of federation building, asymmetric institutional solutions especially in the border areas have played a crucially important role in accommodating ethno-cultural diversity, ensuring law and order, a level of development and governance in a process that has turned the 'rebels into stakeholders'. India's federal asymmetric designs and their working has been a key to holding the peripheries within the Union of India. The book utilizes both archival research and empirical survey data, as well as elite interviews. Harihar Bhattacharyya is Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Burdwan, India. He holds a PhD in Government from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He taught at the South Asia Institute a the University of Heidelberg, Germany, Hull University, UK, Institute of Federalism, Fribourg, and Delhi University, India.

Sinds zijn onafhankelijkheid onderging België heel wat veranderingen. Dit boek beschrijft de evolutie van een eenheidsstaat naar een (con)federaal land. Wat was de impact van de Vlaamse én van de Waalse beweging? Welke sociaal-economische, maatschappelijke en politieke ontwikkelingen drukten hun stempel? Maar, vooral, wat zijn de huidige uitdagingen van de Belgische parlementaire democratie? De auteur schetst ook belangrijke historische gebeurtenissen zoals de Nieuwe Orde, de collaboratie, het verzet, de koningskwestie en mei '68.De weg naar een federaal land biedt een genuanceerd en helder beeld van de opeenvolgende staatshervormingen, hun voorgeschiedenis en de complexiteit ervan. En je krijgt inzicht in de oorsprong en de werking van de bestaande politieke instellingen, de kieswetgeving, alternatieve vormen van burgerdemocratie, de sociale democratie en de evoluerende verhoudingen tussen de politieke wereld en de monarchie.Samen met De komst van de massademocratie vormt dit boek een algemeen en multidisciplinair overzicht van de geschiedenis van het huidige België.Https://www.standaardboekhandel.be

Met de grondwetsherziening van 1970 werd de Belgische Staat voor het eerst grondig hervormd. Sindsdien is de institutionele structuur van ons land in een permanente staat van ontwikkeling. Ook na de zesde staatshervorming is het werk niet af. Daarbij werd in toenemende mate een beroep gedaan op een fascinerende juridische techniek. Die techniek heeft gefaciliteerd, maar ook gebetonneerd; ze heeft deuren geopend, maar ook gesloten. Officieus kennen we deze techniek als 'de bijzondere wet'. Vijftig jaar na de introductie ervan en veertig jaar na de afkondiging van de Bijzondere Wet op de Hervorming van de Instellingen (BWHI) wijdt de onderzoeksgroep ConstitUGent zijn eerste gezamenlijke publicatie aan dit opmerkelijke fenomeen.

"Ferretti pushes the debate about the radical-democratic strands in Italian Unification (the Risorgimento) beyond the usual oppositions -republicanism v. socialism, centralism v. federalism - to consider how much the contentions of the time extended to consideration of authoritarianism, militarism, and colonialism rather than just administrative arrangements per se. In taking a fundamentally geographical approach to the debate, Ferretti not only provides a new perspective on the radical impulses in the Risorgimento but also contributes to the contemporary rethinking of nation-statehood, territorial sovereignty, and the possibilities of transnational federalism. Perhaps most importantly, this book shows that the form which Italian unification took was never a foregone conclusion. There is a broader lesson here." John Agnew, Professor of Geography, University of California Los Angeles, USA Combining intellectual history, geography and political science, this book addresses the relations between geography and the federalist tendencies of key individuals during the nineteenth-century Italian Risorgimento. The book investigates the development of transnational federalist attitudes amongst a political network of intellectuals, and hones in on several understudied figures who played important roles in the Italian radical movements for national and social liberation. Notably, this includes political geographers who mobilised geographical metaphors to foster change and reorganise territories. The author demonstrates how federalism, anarchism and republicanism were all connected and led not only to autonomy in Italy, but more locally within its regions and municipalities, and more broadly across Europe over the 'Long Risorgimento' period. Contributing to current debates on federalism and anti-colonialism, this book will appeal to historical geographers, political scientists and those researching the history of federalism, republicanism and anarchism in Europe. Federico Ferretti is Full Professor of Geography at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna in Italy. His research revolves around the history of geography and includes geo-history and the circulation of geographical knowledge through anarchist approaches. He has written several books and published articles in a number of leading journals, including the Journal of Historical Geography and Political Geography.

How and to what degree do federations produce uniform law within their system? This comparative empirical study addresses these questions comprehensively for the first time. Originally produced under the auspices of the International Academy of Comparative Law, this volume examines legal unification in twenty federations around the world. Each of the successive chapters presents the forces of unification through the lens of a particular federal system. A comparative overview chapter provides a detailed analysis of the overall results with compelling visual illustrations of legal unification along different dimensions (e.g. by area of law; by federation; by civil vs common law system). The overview chapter summarizes and analyzes the means and methods of legal unification and the degree of legal unification of each system, and explains the driving forces of legal unity and diversity in federations more generally. The volume presents surprising findings that should make scholars rethink their abandonment of the civil law vs. common law distinction in comparative law. This book is a milestone in the study of federalism. It is a rare and welcome melding of comparative law and comparative politics using both original data and qualitative analysis. Wide-ranging, probing, and definitive, this book is an invaluable resource for students of law, politics, and multi-level governance.

"This handbook provides a toolbox of definitions and typologies to develop a theory of multilevel constitutionalism and subnational constitutions. The volume examines systems with subnational entities that have full subnational constituent autonomy and systems where subnational constituent powers, while claimed by subnational governments, are incomplete or non-existent. Understanding why complete subnational constituent power exists or is denied sheds significant light on the status and functioning of subnational constitutions. The book deals with questions of how constitutions at multiple levels of a political system can co-exist and interact. The term 'multilevel constitutionalism', recognized as explaining how a supranational European constitution can exist alongside those of the Member States, is now used to capture dynamics between constitutions at the national, subnational and, where applicable, supranational levels. Broad in scope, the book encompasses many different types of multi-tiered systems world-wide to map the possible meanings, uses and challenges of subnational or state constitutions in a variety of political and societal contexts. The book develops the building blocks of an explanatory theory of subnational constitutionalism and as such will be an essential reference for all those interested in comparative constitutional law, federalism and governance"--
