Ten experts question prevailing views that federalism always inhibits the growth of social solidarity. Their comparative study of the evolution of political institutions and welfare states in the six oldest federal states--Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the U.S.--reveals that federalism can facilitate and impede social policy development. Development is contingent on several time-dependent factors and this study suggests that federalism may actually protect the welfare state, and welfare states may enhance national integration.

　　In this unique and provocative contribution to the literatures

of political science and social policy, ten leading experts

question prevailing views that federalism always inhibits the

growth of social solidarity. Their comparative study of the

evolution of political institutions and welfare states in the six

oldest federal states - Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany,

Switzerland, the US - reveals that federalism can facilitate and

impede social policy development. Development is contingent on

several time-dependent factors, including degree of

democratization, type of federalism, and the stage of welfare state

development and early distribution of social policy responsibility.

The reciprocal nature of the federalism-social policy relationship

also becomes apparent: the authors identify a set of important

bypass structures within federal systems that have resulted from

welfare state growth. In an era of retrenchment and unravelling

unitary states, this study suggests that federalism may actually

protect the welfare state, and welfare states may enhance national

integration.

　　? Offers a detailed and standardized comparative account of

Western federal systems ? Covers more than a century of interaction

between political institutions and social policy outcomes ? Written

by leading authorities from each of the federal systems

analysed
