This groundbreaking book presents a novel theory of federalism that delves into the intricacies of traditional federal theories and expands upon them. It offers a comprehensive definition of federalism and federal organizations that encompasses both new and old types of multi-tiered systems. Unlike traditional federal theory, which is limited to research on multinational or mononational systems, this book is well-suited for examining both types of systems. Furthermore, it takes into account the complexity of these systems, with governance bodies operating at the local, regional, national, and supranational levels.

The book is organized into three parts:

The first part provides a critical overview of traditional federal theory, laying the foundation for dynamic federalism.

The second part develops comprehensive indexes to measure autonomy and cohesion of multi-tiered systems.

The third part focuses on the dynamics of federal organizations, particularly emphasizing institutional hubs for change.

Dynamic Federalism is a valuable resource for legal, social, economic, and political scholars interested in federalism, regionalism, and de/centralization. It offers a fresh perspective on the study of federal systems and provides valuable insights into the complexities of governance at different levels.
