In Shared Rule in Federal Theory and Practice Sean Mueller provides a new in - depth treatment of shared rule a crucial but so far largely neglected dimension of federalism and multilevel governance. He discusses shared rule's conceptual evolution and defines three different meanings commonly ascribed to it: shared rule as horizontal cooperation centralization or bottom - up influence seeking. An original expert survey conducted among 38 federalism scholars in 11 countries is used to measure actual regional government influence over national decisions. Drawing on a wide range of literature from lobbying and political parties to power sharing and secessionism the author then investigates the emergence and impact of shared rule thus understood. The evidence presented includes qualitative case studies on Belgium Canada Germany Spain Switzerland and the US as well as quantitative cross - sectional analyses at regional and national level. Mueller shows that shared rule has the potential to become the holy grail of territorial politics in that it satisfies both those wanting greater unity and uniformity of policy making as well as those desiring greater regional autonomy and recognition of diversity. Building on the conceptual and empirical groundwork laid by the Regional Authority Index he takes us further and deeper still into the mechanics of territorial contestation cooperation and cohesion. Transformations in Governance is a major academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics international relations public policy federalism and environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states to supranational institutions subnational governments and public - private networks.
