Introduction
The main research question explored is the impact of federalism on multilevel governance. Wallace & Rebecca (2022, p. 687) states that the author’s main argument is that federalism positively affects multilevel governance. It examines the effects of federalism on multilevel governance from various perspectives. Here the impact of federalism on the distribution of power between different levels of government, the government’s accountability, and its efficiency. It concludes that federalism has a positive effect on multilevel governance.
Problem
There is a great deal of prior research on topics related to political science, including contemporary political theory, federalism, multilevel governance, gender, politics, governmental institutions, public administration, public policy, race, and identity, among others. The ‘Whorls’ is looking to fill research gaps in these areas to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter by focusing on innovative research in all discipline areas.
Major Theoretical Considerations
The author is making theoretical considerations about federalism and multilevel governance, gender and politics, governmental institutions and processes, the history of political thought, Indigenous-settler relations, international relations and foreign policy, political behavior, public administration and public policy, race, and identity. The author explains the primary concept used to ‘test’ or backs their theoretical answers by discussing research articles, research notes, new data sets, commentaries, review articles, replications, and book reviews.
Method Used
The data used in this research are from original research articles, research notes, new data sets, commentaries, review articles, replications, and book reviews. Wallace (2022, p. 689) outlined, the data are used to examine the critical research questions and test the major arguments. They are gathered from participants in all areas of political science, public administration and public policy, race, and identity. The data being used could be testing multiple hypotheses. Some examples could be: whether or not federalism and multilevel governance impact gender and politics, the history of political thought on governmental institutions and processes, or race and identity concerning public administration and public policy.
Major Findings
The article provides an overview of political science and its sub-disciplines. It examines the role of the Canadian federal government in the development of the Canadian economy and discusses the major research areas and debates within political science, and reviews the latest research in each room (Wallace 2022, p. 693). The author supports this argument by outlining the various ways the federal government has contributed to the development of the Canadian economy, including through the development of infrastructure, the promotion of trade and investment, and the provision of financial assistance to businesses and individuals. The author concludes that the federal government plays a significant role in developing the Canadian economy and that this role is likely to continue in the future.
Conclusion
The journal highlights the different types of content it publishes and covers a wide range of topics in political science, making it a valuable resource for scholars in the field. Overall, the article is a comprehensive review of the field of political science well researched and provides a detailed overview of the various subfields of political science. It will benefit readers interested in learning more about the discipline and those who are already familiar with the field but want to stay up-to-date on the latest research.
