Abstract
Federalism is first examined as an ideal-type political order as possibly emergent from initial constitutional agreement among members ofa prospective political community. This abstracted and nonhistorical analysis is followed by an examination of the possible applicability of the federalist ideal as the basisfor reform in specific historical-institutional settings. The direction ofconstitutional change toward effective federalism is discussed, with the devolution of political authority from centralized structures carefully distinguished from the limited concentration of authority from previously autonomous political units.
