Forty percent of the world’s people live on federations. The 28 countries with federal systems of government are amazingly diverse: they include not only the world’s wealthiest nation – the United States of America – but also tiny islands like Micronesia and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Six of the ten most populous countries and ten largest countries by area are federations. Not only has federalism become increasingly important in the world: so, too, has understanding its origins, underpinnings, and characteristics. This admirably concise book, written by George Anderson, a leading expert on federalism and head of the Forum of Federations, provides a straightforward, jargon-free introduction to the topic. It’s essential reading not only for students and practitioners of government, but for every citizen of the world’s federations.

George Anderson became president of the Forum of Federations in 2005 following a distinguished career in Canada’s federal public service that spanned more than three decades, including ten years as a deputy minister. He has studied at Queen’s, Oxford and the Ecole nationale d’administration in Paris, France, and was a fellow at Harvard’s Center for International Relations.

The Forum of Federations is an international non-profit organization based in Ottawa, Canada, that promotes best practices in federal government through worldwide programs of outreach, education, and networking.
