Hueglin, Thomas
Thomas Hueglin is currently working on a general theory of federalism. Such a theory must be wider than the classical American model, and narrower than the ubiquitous concept of multilevel governance. In particular, it must integrate procedural elements of federal governance into the constitutional framework. It must also emphasize social solidarity as a precondition for member equality.
Research Interests: Comparative federalism, European Union, Political theory.
