Federal Representative

There is much that can be learned by Canadians from the experience of federations elsewhere. At present there are twenty-four federations in the world -- representing over forty per cent of the world's population -- comprising a variety of forms and variations. In this updated second edition Ronald Watts provides a clear analysis of the design and operation of a sample of federations chosen for their relevance to Canadian issues. Countries studied include the United States, Switzerland, Australia, Austria, and Germany as examples of developed industrial societies; India and Malaysia as examples of multilingual and multicultural federations; Belgium and Spain as examples of emerging federal systems that illustrate bicommunal and asymmetrical approaches; and Czechoslovakia and Pakistan as examples of bicommunal federations that have failed. Watts compares the interaction of social diversity and political institutions, distribution of powers and finances, processes contributing to flexibility or rigidity in adjustment, extent of internal symmetry or asymmetry, degree of centralization and decentralization, character of representation in federal institutions, role of constitutions and courts, provisions for constitutional rights and secession, and pathology in federations.

Why is the Federal Reserve System so powerful and autonomous? The autonomy of the central bank in the United States is the joint product of strategic choices made by decision makers in the Fed and choices made by members of Congress. Fed decision makers update administrative procedure in ways that frustrate representative control of monetary policy. Members of Congress tolerate experimentation with procedures and rules because Fed independence creates an obstacle for presidents interested in controlling macroeconomic outcomes for electoral or partisan gain. Central bank autonomy is not a serious threat for members of Congress, as they independently develop a number of federal credit programs to counteract the consequences of monetary policy choices for particular sectors of the economy (notably, home construction and small business enterprise). The transformation of the Federal Reserve System reveals how gradual and incremental institutional changes can affect the strategies of political actors and policy outcomes. This finding challenges the dominant description of institutional change that has informed applied work on political institutions in both international relations and American politics. Conventional descriptions emphasize long periods of institutional stability punctuated by short periods of rapid change. Institutional change at the Fed is a gradual and continuous process. Incremental changes in monetary policy institutions (reserve requirements, open market rules, selective credit regulations) reveal the rich variety of strategic options for bureaucrats who desire autonomy from elected officials and the real effects of changing policy institutions on macroeconomic andcapital market outcomes.

Presidents of the National Council of Switzerland - The President of the National Council of Switzerland (Italian: Presidente del Consiglio nazionale, French: PrÃ©sident du Conseil national, German: NationalratsprÃ¤sident) presides over the National Council and the Federal Assembly. The President (or Speaker) is often considered the highest ranking representative of the Swiss federal state, but not head of state (see: Federal Council).

Tsentral'na Rada - The Central Rada or Tsentralna Rada () was a representative body formed in 1917 in Kiev (Kyiv) to govern the Ukrainian People's Republicâ€” which was first an autonomous polity and then later a fully independent state. It achieved this by a gradual process, moving from being a representative solely of ethnic Ukrainians, to the incorporation of other ethnic and national groups in Ukraine, and issuing a series of four "Universals", or Declarations which began with Ukrainian autonomy within a democratic federal Russia and ended with sovereignty and ...

Politics of Germany - Politics of Germany takes place in a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Federal Chancellor is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government.

Politics and government of Nuevo LeÃ³n - The governmental structures of Nuevo LeÃ³n, a Mexican state, are organized according to article 30 of the state constitution, which provides for a republican, representative and popular government, divided into three independent branches (executive, legislative and judicial) that cannot be joined together in a single person or institution. Nuevo LeÃ³n's relation with the federal government of Mexico places it in a similar relation to that federal government as any other Mexican state, but it retains certain aspects of sovereignty with respect to other Mexican states and even toward foreign countries, especially with reference ...
