The Winter School analyzes the phenomena of federalism, regionalism and multilevel governance from a legal and a political science perspective.
The 2017 edition of the Winter School will focus on “Federalism and Power-Sharing”. Participants will analyze the legal structures of distribution systems, their interpretation by courts, and the differences between dual and integrated, coming-together and devolved systems. Furthermore, hot topics such as asymmetric federalism and the impact of federal power-sharing on key policy fields will be discussed. Among the practical case studies from different continents (Asia, Africa and Europe), special attention will be paid to the allocation of powers and subsidiarity in the European Union.
Beside numerous opportunities for discussion with leading experts on multilevel governance throughout the lectures, interactive sessions will also offer participants the chance to share knowledge among themselves. Both lectures and workshops will address the issue of power-sharing in the context of fiscal relations, environment, education, social welfare and immigration/integration.
