in Revue européenne de droit public , Vol. 26 no 3, , 2014 | ||
This paper looks at the Federal Republic of Germany in comparison with other federations in view of the basic federal idea and the distribution of competences and powers between federation and Länder. It sheds light on the tensions of decentralization and unitarization. Furthermore, the constitutional arrangements for financing federal and Länder levels are explained more in detail. And finally the paper raises a current issue: the German Finance Constitution in need of reform | ||
