Abstract
This important new book on comparative federalism considers itself as a product of a 'boom' of federal studies. New, possibly emerging cases of federal agreements (Iraq, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Bosnia), the federal reforms of the EU, but also in nation-states like Australia and Germany, in pluricultural Switzerland and plurinational Canada, and the emergence of federally constituted new powers like India and Brazil may have motivated a higher demand for studies in this field. Both editors are young, but already highly renowned experts in federal studies. In order to justify the claim to represent 'new directions,' the list of the authors of the book brings together established full professors like Braun, Singh and Sturm with younger lecturers like Swenden himself, associate professors like Anderson, Colino, Detterbeck and Saxena, research fellows like Gordin, Hepburn and Martinez Herrera, and also some PhD students like Biela, de Miguel and Hennl. The general objective is to provide an analytic framework which transcends the subfields of federalism studies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
