Title: Federalist thinking
First published: 2008
Description: "Federalist Thinking is a concise and comprehensive account of the development of federalism from its starting point in history to present. The study points out unobserved relationships among classical thinkers belonging to distant, and generally unrelated, cultural areas, which include political and constitutional thinking (from The Federalist Papers to Wheare), international relations, philosophy (Kant), law, economics (Robbins and Einaudi), and history (Seeley and Fiske). It also explores the federalist aspect of different political tendencies like liberalism, democracy, socialism, communism and the recent trend of federalism to become an independent political behavior, represented by towering personalities, like Spinelli and Einstein, who were among the founders of the European and world federalist movements."--Jacket.
