Conclusions; Index.Reviews'This volume provides a highly insightful view of recent developments in federalism around the world. Conflicts between the goals of increased political and fiscal autonomy of regions and the national interest in equity across regions, as described in chapters on the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, and Argentina, are particularly noteworthy. It will be of major interest both to scholars of federalism and the policy makers whose job it is to craft federalist solutions responsive not only to budgetary pressure but also to the evolving preferences of their citizenry.' Howard Chernick, The City University of New York, USA 'Over the last decades, politicians and scientists have expressed growing interest in fiscal autonomy, decentralisation and federalism. Excellent case studies written by renowned scholars provide an outstanding overview of recent developments, interesting experiences and political perspectives in American and European countries with multilevel governments.'
