This volume examines the design and impact of courts in African federal systems from a comparative perspective. Recent developments indicate that the previously stymied idea of federalism is now being revived in the constitutional arrangements of several African countries. A number of them jumped on the bandwagon of federalism in the early 1990s because it came to be seen as a means to facilitate development, to counter the concentration of power in a single governmental actor and to manage communal tensions. An important part of the move towards federalism is the establishment of courts that are empowered to umpire intergovernmental disputes. This edited volume brings together contributions that first discuss questions of design by focusing, in particular, on the organization of the judiciary and the appointment of judges in African federal systems. They then examine whether courts have had a rather centralizing or decentralizing impact on the operation of African federal systems. The book will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers in the areas of comparative constitutional law and comparative politics.

This interdisciplinary book explores the tension in federal systems between higher government level intervention and the autonomy of subnational and local governments. International experts examine a variety of jurisdictions across Africa, Asia, Europe and South America, illustrating how federal intervention can become a coercive tool for control rather than serving as a genuine corrective mechanism.Adopting an international comparative approach, the contributing authors address how federal systems can undermine the self-governance rights of a territory and harm democracy, when they allow a senior level of government to intervene in the affairs of subnational and local authorities. Chapters cover vital questions about the extent of intervention that can and should be allowed and the conditions that justify and regulate these interventions. They examine the procedural safeguards available against unwarranted intervention, as well as how political dynamics influence the use, abuse and frequency of interventions.The Law and Politics of Intervention in Federal Systems is an essential resource for students and academics in law and political science, particularly those interested in comparative constitutional law, comparative politics and, more specifically, comparative federalism.

This edited volume examines the form and operation of intergovernmental relations in divided societies. Using eight country case studies, it explores the interplay between politicised ethno-cultural diversity and intergovernmental relations (IGR) in countries where the distinctive identity of at least one subnational unit is acknowledged in a form of territorial autonomy. The book examines whether and how the distinctive identity of particular subnational units and the attending competing constitutional visions shape the dynamics of IGR. The goal here is not simply to determine whether intergovernmental interactions in such societies are less cordial and more conflictual than in other societies. Such interaction in any society could be strained as a result of disagreement over specific policy objectives. The question is whether the distinctive identity of particular subnational units and the attending competing constitutional visions themselves have been a primary source of intergovernmental tension. The book also examines the impact of identity politics on institutions and instruments of IGR, determining whether the ethno-cultural divide and the tension it creates have the tendency to affect the type of institutions and instruments employed in IGR. It is also about the relevance and effectiveness of institutions and instruments of IGR in acknowledging and accommodating the distinctive identities and specific demands of subnational units, thereby contributing to the peaceful management of divided societies.
