Comparative Federalism and Intergovernmental Agreements

Intergovernmental agreements are an important instrument in federal systems, establishing new social programs, regulating agricultural practices and even changing constitutions. Despite their importance, there have only been limited attempts to understand agreements in a comparative context or to provide a theoretical framework for their study.

This book addresses both of these deficiencies by comparing the use of agreements in six federations (Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland and the United States) and considering why certain federations form more agreements than others. Parker analyzes the data using an institutional framework that considers the effects of seven variables, including the constitutional division of powers, the system of intergovernmental transfers, the size of the welfare state and the nature of governing institutions. In addition, the study provides the first ever comparative database of national intergovernmental agreements a new resource for future research.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Political Science, Federalism, Government, Political Institutions, Political Theory and Comparative Politics.

Jeffrey Parker received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Western Ontario, Canada.

For Amy my inspiration and my strength.

Contents

A work this large is never completed by just one person, whatever the title page might say. I owe a great debt to a number of individuals who were kind enough to lend me their time, energy and resources, without which this book would never have been completed.

This project began as my Ph.D. dissertation, so let me begin with my Ph.D. supervisor and mentor, Robert Young. Professor Young has been a crucial part of this work from the very beginning, providing me with the guidance, contacts and resources necessary to complete this research. More than this, however, Professor Young has been a consistent force urging me to push my boundaries and pursue the highest quality possible in everything from the number of cases, to the scope of the data, to the refinement of the writing. Even after completing my Ph.D., he has continued to be a source of advice and encouragement as I have gone through the publishing process. I cannot thank him enough.

The Department of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario was also integral to the completion of this work and my Ph.D. education. Special thanks are also in order to Professor Laura Stephenson, who was brave enough to read a complete draft of this dissertation and give me great feedback. Thanks also to Professors Cristine de Clercy and Cameron Anderson for serving on my defense committee and providing me with helpful advice and suggestions. I am also very grateful to Professor David Cameron of the University of Toronto who not only served on my defense committee, but also took the time to provide copious notes and suggestions to help me transition this work from a dissertation to a book.
