Summary

This book focuses on reforms of fiscal federalism and local government. It identifies the political and economic factors that influence the design, adoption and implementation of changes to intergovernmental fiscal relations. The study is based on the analysis of reform episodes adopted in ten countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland) between 2001 and 2009. A common approach is applied to analysing individual reform cases. Little analysis has been done so far on the political economy of fiscal federalism and local government, both inside and outside the OECD. Identifying the elements that helped overcome past reform barriers will hence provide guidance to policy makers for the design of future reforms that are both effective and politically palatable
