Bibliographic record
Abstract
Paper in this product is recyclable. of local government is a dynamic one, much would have changed.The question is thus whether the trends identified in 2009 continued in the ensuing decade or whether the status quo remains?The result is a book containing 16 country studies from six continents, written by 22 authors.This book owes its existence to the Forum of Federations.It is thus fitting that the title is The Forum of Federations Handbook on Local Government in Federal Systems.I would like to acknowledge the inspirational and leading roles played by Rupak Chattopadhyay, the president of the Forum, and Felix Knpling, the vice-president.I also wish to thank George Stairs, John Light, and Jamie Thomas, the project managers at the Forum, for their generous assistance.A special word of thanks goes to the contributors.They endured queries, revisions, and delays with great forbearance.They stayed the course, and have produced excellent scholarship.It was with great sadness that we learned of the unexpected death of Andreas Ladner on 7 February 2023, the author of the chapters on Switzerland in this and the previous volume.Andreas

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
