Reviews

“. . . handily dispenses with approaches treating federalism as an independent variable with relative constant causal effects.”—Gerard W. Boychuk, University of Waterloo
*Gerard W. Boychuk*

“This book presents an innovative explanation on how federalism impacts on the development of welfare states. By combining institutionalist and society-centered approaches, the authors challenge widely accepted assumptions. Anyone interested in comparative federalism and social policy will find their study inspiring.”—Arthur Benz, Technische Universität Darmstadt
*Arthur Benz*

“This is a challenging book. It lays down a methodological challenge to studies that see federalism—or any other political institution—as a variable with an average effect across cases. The authors advocate an alternative approach, configurational analysis, which they illuminate in examining four federations. Substantively, the book presents a fascinating analysis of the difference between federations with stateless nations and those without. A must-read for anyone interested in institutional analysis.”
—Keith G. Banting, Queens University
*Keith G. Banting*

"It represents a challenging and highly important contribution to federalism scholarship, though equally to a wider variety of social science research strands. Indeed, one may hope that the authors and other scholars take this approach in analyzing additional federal cases as well as their nexus with other policies."
--Publius: The Journal of Federalism
*Publius: The Journal of Federalism*
