Depuis plus de deux siècles, le fédéralisme montre comment les gens peuvent vivre ensemble tout en conservant leur diversité. Le Guide des pays fédéraux, 2005 perpétue la tradition amorcée par l'édition de 2002; il se fonde sur les travaux de Ronald Watts et de Daniel Elazar et les met à jour, offrant un examen comparé des pays aux tendances fédérales. Unique de par sa portée, sa profondeur et sa pertinence, ce livre s'ouvre sur une préface du président du Forum, Bob Rae, qui se penche sur l'importance du concept fédéral dans le monde contemporain et propose ainsi une excellente introduction au fédéralisme. De nouveaux chapitres comparatifs portent sur le récent projet de Constitution en Europe et sur la possibilité que le fédéralisme soit adopté par deux pays aux prises avec des conflits violents de longue date : le Sri Lanka et le Soudan. En tant que projet du Forum des fédérations, un réseau international qui s'emploie à renforcer la gouvernance démocratique par le biais de valeurs, de pratiques et de principes fédéraux, le guide 2005 est un ouvrage de référence essentiel; chacun des chapitres contient des cartes et des données statistiques. Des auteurs du monde entier traitent de divers thèmes, notamment l'évolution du fédéralisme dans leur pays, les dispositions constitutionnelles relatives au fédéralisme, et la dynamique politique récente du pays. Ils proposent également aux lecteurs des sources de renseignements supplémentaires.

Research on federalism is rarely concerned with its philosophical foundations. However, arguments on why and how best to organise a plurality of states in a multilevel political order have first been discussed by philosophers and continue to inspire contemporary reasoning on international and supranational relations not only in political philosophy. This book offers a unique overview of the philosophical foundations of federalism from both a historical and a systematic perspective. The analyses proposed by renowned scholars from the US and from several European countries cover classic writers such as Hobbes and the authors of the Federalist Papers, Kant and Rawls, and range from anthropological justifications of federal orders to contemporary problems of EU constitutionalism, the principle of subsidiarity and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The book is of relevance to anyone interested in philosophical justifications of federalism.

The idea of the separation of powers is still popular in much political and constitutional discourse, though its meaning for the modern state remains unclear and contested. This book develops a new, comprehensive, and systematic account of the principle. It then applies this new concept to legal problems of different national constitutional orders, the law of the European Union, and international institutional law. It connects an argument from normative political theory withphenomena taken from comparative constitutional law. The book argues that the conflict between individual liberty and dem

Beginning with brief accounts of the origins of Confederation and the economic, social, and political characteristics of late nineteenth-century Canada, Stevenson recounts the major issues that occupied the intergovernmental agenda. Liquor regulation in Ontario, land reform in Prince Edward Island, reluctant acceptance of Confederation in Nova Scotia, chronic financial problems in Quebec, controversy over Catholic schools in New Brunswick, and the roots of Western alienation in Manitoba and British Columbia are all described in detail. Stevenson then examines the process of intergovernmental relations and the significance of particular practices and institutions such as disallowance, reservation, federal-provincial conferences, and judicial review. In the final chapter he summarizes the evolution of Canadian federalism up to 1896 and briefly relates it to the current state of Canadian federalism. Based on extensive archival research, this book will interest political scientists, historians, and anyone curious to know the background of Canada's federal crisis.

Like all major events in Canadian history, the Quebec Conference of 1864, an important step on Canada's road to Confederation, deserves to be discussed and better understood. Efforts to revitalize historical memory must take a multidisciplinary and multicultural approach. The Quebec Conference of 1864 expresses a renewed historical interest over the last two decades in both the Quebec-Canada constitutional trajectory and the study of federalism. Contributors from a variety of disciplines argue that a more grounded understanding of the 72 Quebec Resolutions of 1864 is key to interpreting the internal architecture of the contemporary constitutional apparatus in Canada, and a new interpretation is crucial to appraise the progress made over the 150 years since the institution of federalism. The second volume in a series that began with The Constitutions That Shaped Us: A Historical Anthology of Pre-1867 Canadian Constitutions, this book reveals a society in constant transition, as well as the presence of national projects that live in tension with the Canadian federation.
