Regional imbalance under federal structure: a comparison of Canada and India
Abstract
The problem of regional disparity in economic development in geographically large democratic
countries gets inseparably linked with macro public policies and the economic philosophies
behind them. Two such countries, India and Canada, are considered in this paper. Although
the two countries share several common features, they differ considerably in the size of the
population, nature of the federation, constitutional provisions defining property rights on
minerals and revenue sharing arrangements between the centre and the states, and the
economic philosophy behind the macro policies of the governments.
