Beskrivning
In this provocative and wide-ranging book, Ken Kollman examines the histories of the US government, the Catholic Church, General Motors, and the European Union as examples of federated systems that centralized power over time. He shows how their institutions became locked-in to intensive power in the executive. The problem with these and other federated systems is that they often cannot decentralize even if it makes sense. The analysis leads Kollman to suggest some surprising changes in institutional design for these four cases and for federated institutions everywhere.

Recensioner i media

'Organization theorists across the social sciences, from political science to economics to history, will profit from and enjoy Ken Kollman's ambitious attempt to conduct organizational analysis across nation-state, church, business, and political union and to bear naked the forces that lead to increased centralization. Expect this book to start a lively discussion across these disciplines!' Jacques Crémer, Toulouse School of Economics
