Book excerpt: Federalism: The Australian Experience offers readers a first-hand insight into one of the oldest federations in the world by an Australian expert, Prof Cheryl Saunders. The Australian Constitution is approaching its centenary and it is expected that students of political science, constitutional law, fiscal federalism and practitioners will in the years to come show a growing interest in how the constitution and practice are adapting to the demands of the 21st century. From a South African point of view, studies on Australian federalism have been somewhat neglected over the years. This is unfortunate and we hope that this publication will generate more interest in the subject. Some of the issues that could be of interest to South African researchers are for instance the treatment of indigenous people and efforts to accommodate their demands for land; the operation of the Commonwealth Grants Commission and its impact on policy, and the functioning of intergovernmental relations between the federal and state governments and also between state and local governments and between state governments themselves.

Download or read book A Public Choice Federalism and the Prospects of a Republican Preamble written by Nicholas Aroney and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Republican change in Australia necessarily involves issues of constitutional alteration. Accordingly, the prospects of Australian republicanism turn on the availability of means of constitutional alteration necessary in order to achieve such a change. There is, however, argument over two things: what kind of republic, and what mechanisms are available to achieve the changes necessary to implement the kind of republic preferred. Most of the debate over a republic concerns substantive changes to the main body of the Constitution in order to remove the Queen from the Australian system of government. However, republicanism in Australia is also a highly symbolic thing, and there are republicans who would like to see the references to the British Parliament and the Queen contained in the Preamble and Covering Clauses of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 also removed. This latter idea raises, however, questions about the location of power to alter the Preamble and Covering Clauses. Since the British Parliament abdicated power to legislate for Australia there is no explicit provision which unambiguously includes the power to alter the Preamble and Covering Clauses. This article considers the three possible sources of the power to amend the Preamble and Covering Clauses and, noting that none of them is without its limitations and doubts, argues that the safest and most legitimate approach is to adopt a process which involves a direct referendum (following s 128 of the Constitution) in which a majority of the people in each of the Australian States affirm the proposed change (following 51(xxxviii) of the Constitution and s 15 of the Australia Acts 1986). Such an approach takes into consideration not only the formal mechanisms laid down in the Constitution and Australia Acts, but also gives due weight to the unanimous agreement of the people of the Australian States as the formative basis of the Constitution.

This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fiscal Federalism and Equalization Policy in Canada is a concise book that aims to increase public understanding of equalization and fiscal federalism by providing a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective on the history, politics, and economics of equalization policy in Canada. The authors provide a brief history of the equalization program, a discussion of key economic debates concerning the role of that program and its effects, an analysis of the politics of equalization as witnessed over the last decade, and an exploration of the relationship between equalization and other components of fiscal federalism, particularly the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer. The result is an analysis of equalization that draws from the best scholarship available in the fields of economics, economic history, political science, public policy, and political sociology."--
Download or read book Federalism in Canada written by Thomas O. Hueglin and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Federalism in Canada tells the turbulent story of shared sovereignty and divided governance from Confederation to the present time. It does so with three main objectives in mind. The first objective is to convince readers that federalism is the primary animating force in Canadian politics, and that it is therefore worth engaging with its complex nature and dynamic. The second objective is to bring into closer focus the contested concepts about the meaning and operation of federalism that all along have been at the root of the divide between English Canada and Quebec in particular. The third objective is to give recognition to the trajectory of Canada's Indigenous peoples in the context of Canadian federalism, from years of abusive neglect to belated efforts of inclusion. The book focuses on the constitution with its ambiguous allocation of divided powers, the pivotal role of the courts in balancing these powers, and the political leaders whose interactions oscillate between intergovernmental conflict and cooperation. This focus on executive leadership and judicial supervision is framed by considerations of Canada's regionalized political economy and cultural diversity, giving students an interesting and nuanced view of federalism in Canada."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984. This book brings together and develops the economic theory relating to the design and operation of systems of non-central government — positing major developments in several areas. It considers what functions systems most suitably perform in non-central governments, and their appropriate size and structure. How these authorities might finance themselves — by taxes, charges or loans — is analysed in detail. It also examines the use of grants by higher tiers of government and how such programmes should be designed. Concentrating on contemporary economic concerns, it relates the theory to practice in countries such as Australia, Canada, West Germany, the UK and USA.
