Theory and Practice of Confederate Finances

Chapter 7 in Public Finance in a Changing World, 1998, pp 193-220 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Recent coalescing and splintering movements in Europe and other parts of the world have highlighted the importance of political and constitutional constraints on the design of interjurisdictional fiscal arrangements, and challenged public finance analysts to understand why it is that nations enter or leave such arrangements. In an attempt to address these important issues, this chapter looks at the historical experiences of confederations — that is, structures in which the ‘federal’ government is subordinate to ‘lower-level’ governments — and at the key issues that arise in the design of fiscal arrangements within confederations.
