The twenty-first century has been witnessing a global federal resurgence, distinguished by conversations focusing on interdependencies, multiculturalism, overlapping jurisdictions, multilateralism, multiple centres of policy-making and multiple notions of citizenship. Any assessment of cooperative federalism needs to go beyond institutional structures by incorporating images of diversity, pluralism, identity, issues of empowerment and democratization. Cooperative federalism facilitates cooperation among the national, state and local governments. It perceives the federation and the states as complementary parts of an arrangement where sovereignty is shared. 2024 selection and editorial matter, M.J. Vinod, Stefy V Joseph, Joseph Chacko Chennatuserry and Dimitris N. Chryssochoou; individual chapters, the contributors.
The special issue contains research papers elaborating advancements in computational intelligence. Computational intelligence mimics the extraordinary capacity of the human intellect to assert and understand in an environment of uncertainty and impre-cision. Computational intelligence is new-age multidisciplinary artificial intelligence. The main goal of computational intelligence is to develop intelligent systems to solve real-world problems that are not modelled or too hard to model mathematically. 2024, Bentham Science Publishers.
