This major reference collection, edited by one of the foremost scholars in the field, grapples with a large body of knowledge that does not neatly divide into theoretical categories and imposes a structure for the purposes of studying this complex political structure and process of governance. There is little significant consensus among scholars of federalism as to what constitutes the field and its subdivision so this four volume set, attempts to signpost and map out the field for researchers, post-graduates and political scientists in general.

Volume I: Theories of Federalism

Volume II: Comparative Federalism

Volume III: Practices of Federalism

Volume IV: Potentials of Federalism
