  • Finance and governance of capital cities in federal systems
    Capital cities are unique because they are not only the seat of the national governments, but also serve as the host of national institutions – legislative buildings, museums, arts centres – for which federal governments are responsible. (Available in English)
  • Fiscal Federalism: A Comparative Introduction
    This concise introduction to the ways in which the world's federations manage
    their finances. Topics covered include the distribution of taxation powers among different levels of government; regional equalization schemes; authority over natural resource revenues; and the impact of federal systems of government on pension, welfare, and income assistance programs. The book targets second-,
    third-, and fourth-year courses in Federalism and Comparative Politics at the university level, and will also be useful for practitioners and civil servants.
    (Available in English)
