What is The Government of Federal Capitals about?

<P>Every federal country faces a difficult problem in deciding how its national capital should be governed because of the complex conflicts of interest between the central government, the state governments, and the residents of the capital city. The central government wishes to control and develop the capital in the interests of the nation as a whole, while the people of the city naturally wish to govern themselves. Federations have tried to solve this problem in different ways. Some, like Canada, Switzerland, and West Germany, have given the capital no special constitutional status. Others, such as Australia, India, and the United States, have created a separate federal district for the capital. In Austria and Nigeria the capital area has been given the full status of state. Few federations however are satisfied with the way their capital is governed, and they have much to learn from each other. </P> <P>This volume, the first study of its kind, fills a serious gap in the literature on comparative federalism. It draws together essays by experts on each of the seventeen countries with federal constitutions: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, India, Malaysia, Me
