Cooperative federalism is predicated largely on a web of more or less informal, ongoing intergovernmental relationships and institutional arrangements that seek to adapt the formal structure of the Constitution to the economic and social needs and fiscal realities of a modern federal state. Taken in that light, it is perhaps less a principle than a practice, and more political than legal in its nature and substance... 1, record 1, English, - cooperative%20federalism

In Canadian constitutional law, cooperative federalism is understood as both a descriptive concept and a legal principle.... As a legal principle, it serves as a guide for constitutional interpretation in division of powers cases. Cooperative federalism is to be "given due weight", meaning that sections 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act, 1867 should be read to allow for "interplay, indeed overlap" between spheres of federal and provincial authority and to favour "the application of valid rules adopted by governments at both levels" over enforcing strict jurisdictional silos. 2, record 2, English, - cooperative%20federalism

Associations of states. Independent states may enter into forms of co-operation by consent and on an equal basis. The basis for the co-operation may be the constitution of an international organization, such as the United Nations or the World Health Organization. However, by treaty or custom other structures for maintaining co-operation may be created. One such structure, the confederation, has in practice either disintegrated or been transformed into a federation. In recent times the British Commonwealth of Nations and the French Community have provided examples of associations of states of a special type. Membership of these two associations would not necessarily affect the primary legal capacities and personality of member states any more than membership of an organization and has less effect than membership of some organizations, for example, the European Economic Community, which has a slight federal element, albeit on a treaty basis. 3, record 8, English, - association%20of%20states
