Courts in Federal Countries examines the role high courts play in thirteen countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Nigeria, Spain, and the United States. The volume's contributors analyse the centralizing or decentralizing forces at play following a court's ruling on issues such as individual rights, economic affairs, social issues, and other matters. The thirteen substantive chapters have been written to facilitate comparability between the countries. Each chapter outlines a country's federal system, explains the constitutional and institutional status of the court system, and discusses the high court's jurisprudence in light of these features. Courts in Federal Countries offers insightful explanations of judicial behaviour in the world's leading federations"--Book jacket. 650 0 $a Constitutional courts $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Courts of last resort $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Federal government $v Congresses. 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Conference papers and proceedings. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Aroney, Nicholas, $e editor. 700 1 $a Kincaid, John, $d 1946- $e editor. 710 2 $a Forum of Federations, $e sponsoring body. 710 1 $a Qu©âbec (Province). $b Secr©âtariat aux affaires intergouvernementales canadiennes, $e sponsoring body. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012853.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BB31AA0CF11D11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
