Sharing Resources between the State and Secondary Authorities: Examples from Germany — In Germany, as in most federal States, the two levels of the state (Federal and states) are to retain their financial and fiscal sovereignty. The question therefore arises of distributing public resources between these two levels, to which the local level must be added, which is autonomous under the supervision of each state. Moreover, this distribution is not only vertical but horizontal as well, with equalisation mechanisms aimed at ensuring a certain level of solidarity among the various parts of the federal territory. The article examines the solutions adopted in Germany regarding both types of distribution. | ||
