Abstract

By introducing the concept of disruptive unilateralism, this chapter explains why the mutual dependence of the governments of a federation in public policy-making may undermine federal stability. It distinguishes three different ways in which unilateral policy making by one government restricts the autonomy of the other governments of a federation, which leads to federal instability: individual policy-making, federal imposition, and non-compliance. The extent to which governments solve policy problems unilaterally or jointly when policy problems cut across jurisdictions indicates intergovernmental councils’ (in)effectiveness as federal safeguards.
