doi:10.5771/9783845283425

Summary

Erstmals liegt mit diesem Band eine vollständige politikwissenschaftliche Typologie europäischer Kompetenzverteilungssysteme vor. Sie erfasst sowohl die EU als auch Bundes- und quasiföderale Regionalstaaten, darunter etwa Deutschland, Schweiz, Österreich, Belgien, Italien, Spanien und das Vereinigte Königreich, aber auch asymmetrische Fallbeispiele aus anderen europäischen Staaten, die über „konstitutionelle“ Regionen verfügen. Detailscharf und systematisch werden Modelle und Strukturen einer Kompetenzverteilung, die Spannungsverhältnisse zwischen Zentrum und Peripherie, praktische Probleme und Machtkonflikte am Beispiel einzelner Politikfelder sowie Reformvorhaben untersucht. Ein internationales Autorenteam analysiert die aktuellen Entwicklungen auf nationaler wie europäischer Ebene und zieht vergleichende Lehren aus politikwissenschaftlicher Sicht. Die beiden Herausgeber wirken am Forschungszentrum Föderalismus der Universität Innsbruck mit.
