Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny: Finger pointing, federalism and alternative facts
No full textAfter a week of finger pointing between the federal government and some of Australia’s states and territories over COVID-19 management and the vaccine rollout, Mark Kenny speaks with federalism scholar Tracy Beck Fenwick and media expert Margaret Simons about how the federation is functioning. Is the sense of national unity between the federal government and the states and territories, perhaps best demonstrated through the early days of the National Cabinet, now gone? Is federalism the problem in these increasingly fractious relationships or just a convenient scapegoat? And what role does the media play in their reporting on COVID-19, especially around misinformation? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Director of the Australian Centre for Federalism Dr Tracy Beck Fenwick and Dr Margaret Simons from the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advancing Journalism join Professor Mark Kenny to discuss these questions and more

Beyond Autonomy: Practical and Theoretical Challenges to 21st-Century Federalism
No full textThe purpose of this book is to return to Riker's fundamental concern about the relevance of federalism in the 21st century. In order to do so, our chosen conceptual focus is to re-evaluate the idea of autonomy in both theory and practice in federal studies. A well-known key characteristic and defining feature of federalism is to combine 'self-'with 'shared rule'(Elazar 1987). For many federal scholars, the idea of 'self-rule'signifies autonomy—autonomy granted not only to territories, but also to key groups (minorities), to decide, finance and implement their own policies via their ability to exercise autonomous sovereign authority in at least some areas of jurisdiction. For Robert Dahl (1986, p. 114), the standard definition of a federal democracy is a system in which some matters are exclusively within the competence of certain local units—cantons, states, provinces—and are constitutionally beyond the scope of the authority
How instrument constituencies shape policy transfer: a case study from Ghana
No full textThe concept of instrument constituency provides students of public policy with a new analytical tool for the analysis of policy change. In this article, we use the example of cash transfer programs to show how this concept also makes a direct contribution to the analysis of transnational policy transfer. More specifically, the analysis shows how, over the last dozen years, actors forming an instrument constituency promoted the diffusion of cash transfers as a policy instrument from Latin America to sub-Saharan Africa and, more specifically, from Brazil to Ghana. This case study of Ghana’s adoption of a cash transfer program is grounded in semi-structured, expert interviews conducted with both domestic and transnational actors. Overall, the analysis demonstrates how the concept of instrument constituencies can enrich the literature on policy transfer, a key source of policy change in both developed and developing countries.Daniel Béland
