Za konkretnu raspravu o federalizmu
For a Concrete Discussion Concerning Federalism

Summary/Abstract: This study stresses the insufficiency of thinking related to abstract models of federalism. It makes a pica for a concrete discussion in which the social substratum within which communities have their origin will be taken into consideration. The theory of social choice, the theory of coalitions, and game theory, are suggested as offering such approaches that make a concrete analysis possible. Special attention is paid to the concept of sovereignty. It is pointed out that sovereignty is limited by the very fact that the achievement of certain benefits implies taking certain commitments. Sovereignty, including economic sovereignty, signifies therefore that the state makes decisions on the basis of free will yet that this will is always subjected to real limitations.
