Abstract

The aim of the article "Federalism applied to multi-level political systems" is to identify the essence of federalist thinking shared within the following research fields: law, political science, international relations, European studies. These theoretical concepts are presented in the first part of the text; the similarities and differences are emphasized. Summarizing the repeating characteristics and analyzing the causal relation between the changes of sovereignty and transformation of federalism follow. Analyzing the outputs enables us to describe basic model of federalism. Multi-level governance theory is compared with federalism and the applicability of federal concept to any multi-level political system that integrates heterogeneities in one unity is argued in the next part. The ambition of the article is to contribute to the richness of federalism itself as well as to redefine the concept in the terms of contemporary multi-level Europe.
