Vážení přiznivci Common Law Society,
na 18.3. jsme si pro Vás připravili přednášku profesora Suriho Ratnapaly z University of Queensland v Austrálii na téma Fiskálního federalismu. Přednáška bude probíhat v anglickém jazyce.
Abstrakt přednášky:
It is a compelling fact that apart from a few resource rich oligarchies and city states, the nations that have achieved the highest standards of incomes and living standards over the past two centuries happen to be de jure or de facto federations. Fiscal decentralisation, to varying degrees is a central feature of the federal form of constitutional government. Professor Ratnapala examines the constitutional arrangements of several federations measured against the theoretical requirements of fiscal federalism. He proceeds to consider the impact of the EU ‘constitution’ on the state of fiscal federalism in Europe and lessons that successful federal states offer for the European project.
