This book challenges the notion that federalism hinders social solidarity. Through a comparative analysis of six federal states, it reveals that federalism can both aid and obstruct social policy development, influenced by factors like democratization and welfare state evolution. It argues that federalism may safeguard welfare states and promote national integration.
