Reviews / Votes
"This is a very valuable piece of work, both for academics and policymakers. It provides a deep analysis of the various and growing policy areas related to the international activities carried out by local governments. The variety of developed and developing countries chosen for the comparison is enlightening." Adalberto Rodriguez Giavarini, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Argentina "Thanks to the Forum of Federations' Global Dialogue, the international dimension of federalism finally is being adequately included into public discourse. Even though constitutional settings and the conduct of foreign relations vary across federations, a systematic comparison is extremely valuable." Karl-Heinz Lambertz, Minister-President of the German Community, BelgiumMore details
