Debt crises have placed strains not only on the European Union's
nascent federal system but also on the federal system in the United
States. Old confrontations over fiscal responsibility are being
renewed, often in a more virulent form, in places as far flung as
Detroit, Michigan, and Valencia, Spain, to say nothing of Greece and
Cyprus. Increasing the complexity of the issue has been public sector
collective bargaining, now a component of most federal systems. The
attendant political controversies have become the debate of a
generation. Paul Peterson and Daniel Nadler have assembled experts
from both sides of the Atlantic to break down the structural flaws in
federal systems of government that have led to economic and political
turmoil. Proposed solutions offer ways to preserve and restore vibrant
federal systems that meet the needs of communities struggling for
survival in an increasingly unified global economy. Contributors:
