<p>This edited volume provides a solid yet accessible set of contributions for students, specialists and practitioners of federalism. It also reflects a commitment to normalising the connection between federal studies and scholarship on pluralism and diversity management. To shed light on a specific theme through a rigorous and comprehensive approach, most chapters compare at least two federal systems in connection with a given institutional matter or area of public policy.</p>

<p>‘A pluralist exploration is what is needed to grasp the many facets of federalism, a concept that lives of and nurtures diversity. Pluralism is the essence of federalism, its raison d’être, its beginning and ending. The book offers a contemporary account of such richness, bringing together key topics and outstanding contributors.’</p>

Feeds into the growing interest for federal studies in academic and government circles Broadens the analytical perspective to include non-traditional federal states Pays attention to sub-state institutional practices that are rooted in a certain federal spirit
"Pluralism is the raison d’être&nbsp;of federalism. Federal systems are, by definition, plural: plurality of actors, plurality of powers and institutions, plurality of policies. Moreover, sharing&nbsp;common features, federal-type arrangements are anchored in distinct realities that invite a plurality of nuanced and contextualized analysis.&nbsp;This collection takes us on a journey through philosophical, theoretical, institutional and policy approaches to the multifaceted federal phenomenon, with pluralism as a method and general theme. With an impressive team of emerging and established scholars – whose work are anchored in politics, law, economics, history, philology – as guides, the volume meanders between federal structures and fundamental rights, immigration, climate change, referenda, constitutional justice, asymmetry,&nbsp;fiscal redistribution,&nbsp;political parties, local government, secession, gender equality, linguistic protection, power-sharing arrangements that both include and exclude certain groups. The result is a rich kaleidoscope of insights about the potential and pitfalls of federalism as a normative and institutional response to the challenge and promise of pluralism<i>.</i><i>" </i>(<b>J</b><b>ohanne Poirier</b>, Peter Mackell Chair in Federalism, Faculty of Law, McGill University, Canada)&nbsp;<p></p><p></p>
