Distributional conflict and jurisdictional organization
Article Abstract:
The security of a unified jurisdiction does not consequentially depend on the priorities of the most affluent member region. This is the pattern that governs the internal establishment of jurisdictions when the political ramifications of a damaging conflict to obtain parts of the gross national product are taken into account. Furthermore, federalism is needed to counter the effects of distributional competition and conflict. This is so because under the hierarchical structure of federalism, less capital is infused in combination on allocation activities.
