Collaborative Federalism : Economic Reform in Australia in the 1990s Paperback / softback
by Martin (University of Sydney) Painter
Part of the Reshaping Australian Institutions series
Paperback / softback
Description
This provocative 1998 study of federalism identifies a pattern of intergovernmental relations in Australia.
Through his general discussion of the nature of the Australian federal system, and close analysis of recent developments in Australian politics and policy-making, Painter argues that our federal system is being fundamentally reshaped as state and commonwealth governments cooperate more closely than ever before on joint policy-making schemes.
Much of this collaboration has been prompted by the need for microeconomic reform in the 1990s, and increasing concern about the degree of overlap, inefficiency and duplication across the federal system.
The book includes a narrative account of the often fraught progress of the Special Premier's Conferences and the Council of Australian Governments.
It also includes detailed discussion of a number of key examples.
