Abstract

Federal countries are experiencing critical times. The advent of a global financial and economic crisis has brought into question the ability of federal governments to effectively steer their economies toward recovery as well as the capacity of the European Union and its member-states to coordinate their economies within a monetary union. This panel explores the effect of the financial and economic crisis on multi-level systems by identifying how territorial structures of multilevel systems have conditioned government responses to the crisis and how have they adjusted and evolved in response to crisis.
