“…16 Scholars often do not sufficiently define the terms of democracy and mix various arguments from the history of ideas or from normative theories. This results, at best, in a list of possible justifications of federalism and, in the worst case, in an understanding of federalism depoliticising it as a legal system or combining it with a pre-modern concept of politics.…”

“…However, with the exception of constitutional amendments, this failure of coordination does not block policy-making, but leads to mutual adjustment in competition. In general, this arrangement provides for momentum in the federal order that enhances not only the democratic quality of federalism, but also its adaptability (Schultze, 2008; Bakvis et al , 2009; Broschek, 2009).…”

“…Upon closer inspection, the allegedly clear link between federalism and democracy turns out to be profoundly ambivalent (Weinstock, 2001; Schultze, 2008: 615). We have good reasons to claim that federalism only flourishes in a democratic government and that it protects the freedom of citizens by moderating the power of government and administration.…”

Democracy and federalism are commonly viewed as complementary components of a political system. Conversely, a long-standing discourse claims the incompatibility of inevitable intergovernmental coordination in federalism with democracy, the former being viewed as an impediment or disruption to democratic governing. However, neither are the two inherently compatible nor inevitably incongruous. Instead, research and practice of democratic federations show that their relationship is one of multiple tensions. These may generate conflicts and impasses, yet can equally prove to be productive. To delineate these tensions, but also how different federal systems deal with them, this article examines federalism and democracy as two discrete, but interdependent institutional dimensions. Building upon this framework, we depict variants of coupling between institutions of federalism and democracybased on selected cases. We demonstrate that particular modes of multilevel governance and intergovernmental relations are essential for linking the logics of federalism and democracy in loosely coupled, flexible patterns. Moreover, federal democracies can effectively cope with these tensions by continuously balancing power established in the two institutional dimensions.

“…In der vergleichenden Föderalismusforschung besteht heute weitgehend Konsens darüber, dass Föderalismus ein komplexes, mehrdimensionales Phänomen ist (vgl. Benz 2002; Burgess 2006; Hueglin und Fenna 2006; King 1982; Schultze 1990; 2008). Dies war nicht immer so, wie die klassische Auseinandersetzung zwischen Vertretern der gesellschafts‐ und staatszentrierten Ansätze deutlich macht.…”

“…Dieses unterscheidet sich von Formen eines “echten” kooperativen Föderalismus durch seinen Zwangsverhandlungscharakter (vgl. Benz 2009a, 2009b; Broschek 2009; Goetz 1995; Schultze 2008). Die Akteure besitzen hier keine Exit‐Optionen, um gegebenenfalls Reformstrategien eigenständig verfolgen zu können und dadurch politischen Wandel herbeizuführen.…”

Abgesehen von wenigen Ausnahmen sind neuere theoretische Entwicklungen im Historischen Institutionalismus bislang kaum von der vergleichenden Fo¨deralismusforschung aufgenommen worden. Der Beitrag diskutiert deshalb die Mo¨glichkeiten, die eine historisch-institutionalistische Perspektive fu¨r die Bearbeitung von zwei zentralen Fragestellungen der vergleichenden Fo¨deralismusforschung bietet: die Frage nach den Entstehungsbedingungen fo¨derativer Systeme sowie die nach deren Entwicklungsdynamik. Fu¨r alle zwei Fragestellungen, so die Grundu¨berlegung des Artikels, ha¨lt der Historische Institutionalismus gewinnbringende Analyseinstrumente bereit, die dazu beitragen ko¨nnen, zwischen den weitgehend isolierten Theoriestra¨ngen der Fo¨deralismusfor-schung zu vermitteln.
