Courts in Federal Countries examines the role high courts play in thirteen countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Nigeria, Spain, and the United States. The volume's contributors analyse the centralizing or decentralizing forces at play following a court's ruling on issues such as individual rights, economic affairs, social issues, and other matters. The thirteen substantive chapters have been written to facilitate comparability between the countries. Each chapter outlines a country's federal system, explains the constitutional and institutional status of the court system, and discusses the high court's jurisprudence in light of these features. Courts in Federal Countries offers insightful explanations of judicial behaviour in the world's leading federations."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aFederal government$vCase studies 606 $aConstitutional courts 608 $aCase studies. 610 $aFederal courts 615 0$aFederal government 615 0$aConstitutional courts. 676 $a347/.035 702 $aAroney$b Nicholas 702 $aKincaid$b John 712 02$aForum of Federations, 712 02$aQue?bec (Province).$bSecre?tariat aux affaires intergouvernementales canadiennes, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996581872803316 996 $aCourts in Federal Countries$92281613 997 $aUNISA
