| Summary |
The comparative studies in this volume examine the constitutional distribution of exclusive and shared powers and responsibilities among the national and constituent governments of Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. Contributors examine the reasons behind each country's system of power distribution, how it works, changes over time, successes or failures, and future trends in the allocation and sharing of power. |
