Research
Jussi Jaakkola's research project Political Philosophies of Competitive Fiscal Federalism addresses how traditions of political thought have theorised the international order of competitive fiscal federalism and which political functions they have ascribed to competition among states. Making sense of how the contradiction between democracy and capitalism resurfaces under the conditions of competitive fiscal federalism is at the core of his research.
