Forty per cent of the world’s population lives in federal countries, each facing their own crises and successes. Rethinking Decentralization explores what makes a successful federal government by centering the unique role of public attitude in maintaining the fragile institutions of federalism.



Trade Review

“Rethinking Decentralization breaks new theoretical ground in its multidimensional understanding of subsidiarity. Showcasing his deep knowledge on the peculiarities of eight different countries, Jacob Deem elegantly weaves his findings into case-specific narratives. There is no other book on this subject with the same conceptual, theoretical, historical, and empirical breadth.” Sean Mueller, University of Lausanne and author of Theorising Decentralisation: Comparative Evidence from Subnational Switzerland
