| Title | Variation in power distribution design across federal states |
| Summary | This paper concentrates on the phenomenon of horizontal power distribution in federal states in order to assess the variability of power distribution principle among constituent units in different countries. The research question of this study is: why is there a variation in asymmetric power distribution design and the degree of an established asymmetry across federal states? In order to address this question this paper studies several attempts to operationalize and measure different dimensions of the federal asymmetrical pattern of power distribution, namely the fiscal, administrative and political dimensions. The case-study of the Russian Federation offers a deeper examination of objectives for implementing certain types of asymmetry. It encompasses the topic of the history of the Russian Federation in establishing the current institutional arrangement and implementation of asymmetry to accommodate salient differences in the polity, which makes the application of the majority rule at the national level unacceptable. |
