While the former is federal and the latter a devolved state, the logic of both systems is similar: to combine unity with diversity. Both are facing similar challenges in a world marked by spatial rescaling, international interdependence and economic and social change. The contributors chart these challenges and the responses of the two countries, covering the meanings of federalism and devolution; the role of the courts; fiscal equalization; welfare; party politics; reform by popular referendum and citizen assemblies; and intergovernmental relations. The book will be of interest to students of federalism and multilevel government, state transformation territorial politics on both sides of the Atlantic.Comparative Territorial PoliticsGreat Britain—Politics and governmentLegislative bodiesComparative politicsBritish Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911120Legislative and Executive Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911240Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Great Britain—Politics and government.Legislative bodies.Comparative politics.British Politics.Legislative and Executive Politics.Comparative Politics.306.20971Keating Michaeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLaforest Guyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300500803321Constitutional Politics and the Territorial Question in Canada and the United Kingdom2268349UNINA
