About this title

Synopsis

Today the climate for federalism is immeasurably warmer than a decade ago. There is a growing bipartisan recognition of the political impossibility and undesirability of dismantling the states, and impetus for change is now directed at reform and improved efficiency of the existing system. There is a renewed Commonwealth-State commitment to the federal partnership and a genuine desire to evolve more effective means of working together.

This unique text draws on the experience of 15 noted commentators selected from the fields of political science, business and the law. They provide a fresh analysis of the current role of the states and the future of federal-state relations.
