商品描述

​This book provides an account of the reforms undertaken in German federalism throughout the 2000's. It explores the consequences of the historic changes made to the German federal order through detailed analysis of a set of unique case study areas. It also evaluates the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic on German federalism, and the relationship between party politics and federalism in Germany. The authors investigate what happens when policy responsibility is decentralized. The reforms undertaken in Germany fundamentally altered the roles played by the federal and state-level governments in several policy fields, and the question as to what kind of impact this has for policy itself is a global one. In a world that sees an increasing trend towards the decentralization of political authority, this book offers insights and lessons that have a practical application on a global scale. It will find the interest of students and scholars in countries worldwide which are grappling with thenature of policy responsibility across levels of political authority.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書記錄了德國聯邦制度在2000年代進行的改革。通過對一組獨特案例研究區域的詳細分析,探討了對德國聯邦秩序進行的歷史性變革的後果。本書還評估了德國聯邦制度在應對Covid-19大流行病方面的處理,以及德國黨派政治與聯邦制度之間的關係。作者們研究了當政策責任分散時會發生什麼情況。德國進行的改革徹底改變了聯邦和州級政府在幾個政策領域中所扮演的角色,這對政策本身的影響是全球性的問題。在一個越來越趨向政治權力分散的世界中,本書提供了具有全球實際應用價值的見解和教訓。它將引起全球各國學生和學者的興趣,這些國家正在努力應對政治權力層級間責任的性質。
