| Publisher Description: This original and provocative study of federalism identifies a new pattern of intergovernmental relations in Australia. Through his general discussion of the nature of the Australian federal system, and close analysis of recent developments in Australian politics and policy making, Painter argues that the federal system is being fundamentally reshaped as state and commonwealth governments cooperate more closely than ever before on joint policy-making schemes. The book includes both narrative accounts and detailed discussions of key examples. |
