Summary "To what extent do federal systems promote multiple identities and attachments? How do their identities affect the trust that is assigned to various orders of government and contribute to cohesion in federalist systems of government? Do cohesive federations depend on public trust and strong attachment to the national or central government? Are attachments and identification with the various orders of government in conflict or are they compatible? "Identities, Trust, and Cohesion in Federal Systems: Public Perspective" offers eight comparative essays that provide key insights into identity debates in federalist countries. The findings are drawn from extensive analyses of public opinion data in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. The editors of the volume, Jack Jedwab and John Kincaid, seek to improve our understanding of how identity, trust, and cohesion correlate with centralized, decentralized, and/or asymmetrical models of federalism. Different models of federalism are evaluated in this collection of country studies so as to gain insight into the diverse governance challenges that nations encounter. Making effective use of empirical data to draw evidence-based conclusions about federalist governance breaks new ground in the study of federalism."-- Provided by publisher.
