To what extent do these institutional differences affect the effectiveness of intergovernmental cooperation? To address this gap theoretically and empirically, this book adopts a deductive, rationalist approach to institution-building. It argues that internal politics, the type of executive-legislative relations within the interacting governments, explains the nature of institutions set up to channel intergovernmental processes: while power-sharing governments engage in institution-building, power-concentrating governments avoid it. It also shows that these institutional choices matter for the output of intergovernmental cooperation. The approach is applied to the United States, Canada, Switzerland, and finally the European Union.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943895499040,"sku":"NEW0199570604","price":219.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/intergovernmental-cooperation-rational-choices-in-federal-systems-and-beyond-comparative-politics-0199570604","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
