  Traces the diplomatic maneuverings and political drama of national unification in nineteenth-century Germany and Italy. This book demonstrates that Germany's and Italy's 'founding fathers' were constrained by two different pre-unification patterns of institutional development. It offers a broader theory of federalism's origins.
