Fiscal Federalism in Canada : Analysis, Evaluation, Prescription, Paperback / softback Book

Fiscal Federalism in Canada : Analysis, Evaluation, Prescription Paperback / softback

Edited by Andre Lecours, Daniel Beland, Trevor Tombe, Eric Champagne

Paperback / softback

Description

Featuring insights from some of the top specialists in the country, Fiscal Federalism in Canada unpacks numerous complexities of fiscal federalism in Canada.

The book features key regional and provincial perspectives, while taking into account Indigenous realities, the three territories, and municipal affairs.

The contributing authors go beyond the major federal transfers to examine the financing of education, cities, infrastructure, and housing. This volume shows that fiscal federalism is much more than simply an aggregate of individual programs and transfers.

It highlights the role of actors other than the federal and provincial governments and recalls the importance of territoriality.

The book pays close attention to the political dimension of fiscal federalism in Canada, which is at the heart of how the federation functions and is essential to its governance.

Fiscal federalism is central to the funding of critical programs through intergovernmental transfers, but it is also the focus of political debates on territorial redistribution.

In tackling essential questions, Fiscal Federalism in Canada contributes to the so-called second-generation fiscal federalism literature, taking stock of the critical sociological and political issues at its core.
