Wagner | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Federalism has generally been characterized as a system ofgovernment that is friendly to liberty. It is not obvious, though, whythis should be so. Federalism is a form of government where citizenssimultaneously reside in at least two governments, each of which hasindependent authority to tax and to regulate. By contrast, in aunitary form of government citizens face only one government withindependent authority to tax and regulate. At first glance, it wouldseem a bit strange to claim that liberty is more secure when citizensare members of two governments with independent authority than whenthey are members of only one such government. The relationship betweenfederalism and liberty turns out to be a complex one, and one that iscapable of working in either direction. Whether federalism supports orerodes liberty depends on importantly on the institutional frameworkwithin which federalist governance takes place. The essays in.Federalist Government in Principle and Practice. examine thisinstitutionalist theme from both theoretical and practicalperspectives. | 出版日期 | Book 2001 | 关键词 | Federalism; Governance; Government; Legislation; Policy; Politics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-1395-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-5532-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-1395-7 | copyright | Kluwer Academic Publishers 2001 |
