Nicht genutzte Chancen der Föderalismusreform

Fritz W. Scharpf

No 06/2, MPIfG Working Paper from Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies

Abstract: The reform of German federalism was meant to overcome the mutually imposed constraints on autonomous political action at the federal and Land levels. The proposals that are now to be discussed in parliament will provide some improvement, but are far from adequate in light of the original goals or the practical needs for reform. The reason was a simplistic approach to reform which, if it had been realized, would have violated the normative requirements of interregional equality. Options which could have increased autonomy without violating egalitarian standards were ignored in the process.
