Why are citizens in some countries more willing to pay taxes than in other countries? This book examines the history of the relationship between citizens and their states in five countries, (Sweden, Britain, Italy, Romania, and the United States), and demonstrates how and why people in in some countries have come to trust the government with their money while in other countries they do not. The book explores the evolution of this relationship in detail, in each case showing how some governments developed the fiscal and technical capacity to tax their citizens fairly and deliver public services efficiently. In short, how and why some countries became more trustworthy than others.

Wesentliche Faktoren, die in der Zeit zwischen den Weltkriegen die ""Krise der Demokratie"" verursachten, besaßen gemeineuropäischen Charakter. Hierzu gehörte vor allem die radikale, ideologisch begründete Ablehnung der parlamentarischen Demokratie durch den politischen Extremismus von links wie von rechts. Mit diesem spezifischen Aspekt der Zwischenkriegszeit setzt sich Andreas Wirsching erstmals in einer Untersuchung auseinander, die sowohl die Weimarer Republik wie auch die späte französische Dritte Republik in den Blick nimmt. Konzentriert auf die hauptstädtischen Zentren Paris und Berlin

“This highly informative book provides precisely analysed situations highlighting migration’s crucial role for emancipatory change and hence socio-political innovation. A so far hidden perspective is being made visible and contributes a highly compelling piece for rewriting Switzerland’s history.” —Julia Nentwich, Research Institute for Organisational Psychology, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland “Francesca Falk proposes a migrantisation of the history of gender equality in Switzerland. It was women with experience of migration who were engaged on behalf of women's suffrage with special verve. It was working Italian women in particular who created the conditions for the expansion of childcare infrastructure.” —Elisabeth Joris, Historian, Zurich, Switzerland “Instead of sidelining issues of migration and gender, as is done so often, this important book teaches us that these perspectives must be central to any substantial narration of Swiss history.” —Patricia Purtschert, Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies, University of Bern, Switzerland This open access book analyses migration and its relation to socio-political transformation in Switzerland. It addresses how migration has made new forms of life possible and shows how this process generated gender innovation in different fields: the changing division of work, the establishment of a nursery infrastructure, access to higher education for women, and the struggle for female suffrage. Seeing society through the lens of migration alters the perspective from which our past and thus our present is told—and our future imagined. Francesca Falk is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary History at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.

This handbook compares fiscal federalism arrangements in eleven federal/ decentralized countries. Each chapter examines an individual country, laying out its constitutional design as relates to fiscal powers and the division of those powers between levels of government. Specifically, the analyses consider powers of taxation, spending, regulation, and more. Focusing on Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, the contributors provide a fascinating account of how federal countries are confronting the traditional challenges of conflicts over division of fiscal powers while also coping with the ongoing challenges of globalization and citizen empowerment that arise from the information revolution. As a companion to the Forum of Federations Handbook of Federal Countries 2020, this volume considers how relationships and roles in different orders of government are being reshaped, and shows how local solutions inspired by global principles help strengthen government accountability and improve citizens’ quality of life. Jean-François Tremblay is Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa, Canada.

"The Anthropology of Parliaments offers a fresh, comparative approach to analysing Parliaments and democratic politics, drawing together rare ethnographic work by anthropologists and politics scholars from around the world. Crewe's insights deepen our understanding of the complexity of political institutions. She reveals how elected politicians navigate relationships by forging alliances and thwarting opponents; parliamentary buildings are constructed as sites of work, debate and the nation in miniature; and politicians and officials engage with hierarchies, continuity and change. This book also proposes how to study parliaments through an anthropological lens while in conversation with other disciplines. The dive into ethnographies from across Europe, the US, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa demolishes hackneyed geo-political categories and culminates in a new comparative theory about the contradictions in everyday political work. This important book will be of interest to anyone studying parliaments but especially those in the disciplines of anthropology and sociology; politics, legal and development studies; and international relations"-- Provided by publisher.
