The article finds that the historical legacy of a federal system has an effect on the overarching reform goal (strengthening self-rule versus shared rule), as well as the scope (focused versus comprehensive) and mode (constitutional versus nonconstitutional) of reforms. Reforms in Australia and Canada were primarily concerned with pathologies such as unilateralism and duplication of competences and had as their main goal to strengthen shared rule. Reforms in Germany and Switzerland were initiated to disentangle both tiers of government by strengthening self-rule. - Reproduced.  aFederalism  aPublius  a108536  c108531d108531  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 45, Issue no: 1pAR108996r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
