“…In a federal government system such as in Canada, substate actors in the country tend to be more accustomed to power‐sharing rules because of the nature of federalism formed by the division of sovereignty between the center and the regions (autonomy) (Lluch, 2012; Umaner‐Duba, 2020). One of the regulations relevant to the discussion of the Quebec paradiplomacy is issued in section 92, the Canada Constitution Act of 1867.…”

This article aims to understand paradiplomacy practices in Indonesia by identifying the characteristics of Aceh's paradiplomacy and reviewing it comparatively with the paradiplomacy of Quebec, Canada. The data was collected by documentation study, interview, and literature search. The practice of paradiplomacy in Indonesia is framed in a unitary state system in which the central government still dominates regional foreign activities and the regional awareness for the need of foreign relations is still minimal. This is different from the Province of Quebec in Canada wherein Quebec is one of the most active provinces to take part abroad for the fulfillment of their regional interests. We conclude that the characteristics of paradiplomacy are determined by the institutionalization of paradiplomacy in the regions and the pattern of relations between the central and regional government which usually refers to the form of the state whether unitary or federalist.

“…A widespread Spanish public opinion, broadly speaking and with clear exceptions as well, rule out any debate on the potential constitutional re-arrangements' scenarios (Calzada 2014;Calzada and Bildarratz 2015). Although there are several academic voices that argue around the fact that Catalonia's independence referendum is per se a conflictive matter (Arrighi 2019;Ferreira 2021;Gray 2020;Molina 2015;Oller et al 2020;Ruiz Casado 2022;Umaner-Duba 2020), the position of this article is allowing an open debate regardless of preferences and outcomes by learning from other cases and, more importantly, avoiding one-size-fits-all normative interpretations. Furthermore, in the aftermath of techno-political responses to the pandemic by central governments (Bignami et al 2022), a large majority of citizens in these three metropolitanized city-regional nations have been increasingly demanding a say around measuresbiopolitical border controls and advanced dataveillance technologies-insofar as they directly affect their lives and are consequently pushing back against populist identity politics and keeping away from state-centric policies-in resistance to-governmental logics (Bratton 2021;Calzada 2022d).…”

Emancipatory Urban Citizenship Regimes in Postpandemic Catalonia, Scotland, and Wales

Wide tensions regarding the organization of nation-state power have been triggered over the last years in the UK and Spain. By contrast, in the UK, (i) the plebiscite on Scottish Independence has been characterized since 2014 so far by a regular hegemony of the SNP in Scotland, and (ii) more recently, distinct resilient responses to tackle COVID-19 have dramatically shifted perceptions about the potential constitutional arrangements in Wales partially opposing a state-centric vision of the UK. By contrast, the role played by the constitutionally illegal but socially constitutive referendum in Catalonia on 1 October 2017, remarkably provoked the re-emergence of the Spanish far-right narrative through the surge of the new political party called Vox. In both cases, the urban in Glasgow, Cardiff, and Barcelona has been shaping various oppositions to state-centric agendas, and such oppositions have shaped elections in the UK and Spain. This article sheds light on the distinct, emerging, and emancipatory urban citizenship regimes in Catalonia, Scotland, and Wales, particularly illustrating the roles that Barcelona, Glasgow, and Cardiff, respectively, are playing in articulating a counter-reaction by rescaling a state-centric vision. This article employs past elections’ evidence to illustrate such regimes amid postpandemic times in datafied states.

Shared Rule in Federal Theory and Practice

Mueller

2024

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This book provides the first ever in-depth treatment of shared rule, a crucial but so far largely neglected dimension of federalism and multilevel governance. The book 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 thirty-eight federalism scholars in eleven countries is used to measure actual as opposed to merely potential regional government influence over national decisions. Drawing on a wide range of literature, from lobbying and political parties to power-sharing and secessionism, the book 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 USA as well as quantitative, cross-sectional analyses at regional and national level. The book 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 and also those desiring greater regional autonomy and recognition of diversity. Building on the conceptual and empirical groundwork laid by the Regional Authority Index, the book thus takes us further and deeper into the mechanics of territorial contestation, cooperation, and cohesion.
