Indian Federalism and PRINCIPLES OF FEDERALISM : A review
Keywords:
Fundamental, TerminologicalAbstract
There are several challenges inherent in the study of federalism in its widest meaning, and these problems are represented in both theory and practise. The word "federal" has practical and conceptual meanings. In this book I will demonstrate that although federal theory does exist, no completely developed theory of federalism exists. Theory is incomplete even when it is founded on thorough conceptual examination and the quest for terminological accuracy. At its worst, this empiricism is founded in a lack of effort to formulate central ideas and articulate their definitions. This groundwork is necessary for any theoretically-relevant comparison study to be conducted.
