Federalism is becoming increasingly important for shaping political orders. However, the enormous amount of empirical studies and comparative work has pushed the theoretical and historical treatment of federalism in recent research into the background. There is no overall presentation of the political and theoretical debates on the modern concept of federalism. The question of the relationship between federalism and democracy is also unresolved. The aim of the anthology is, firstly, to demonstrate the theoretical diversity of the federalism discourse and, secondly, to present the path dependency of certain traditions of thought in the federalism discourse. Of course, any attempt to deal with a theoretical tradition as broad and influential as federal thinking is bound to have certain limitations. The authors were given two specifications. The first concerns the embedding of the presentation in concrete political debates about the ideas of democracy and the vertical separation of powers in the state. The second requires a systematic reappraisal of the concept of federalism and the understanding of freedom. The aim is to examine how a political conception associated with federalism, which places representation and administration not only at the level of the state but also at the subordinate levels, changes the understanding of politics and how a changing understanding of democracy has shaped the political and theoretical debates on federalism .
