The book begins by explaining the basic principles of federalism. Renwick defines federalism as "a system of government in which power is divided between a central government and several regional or territorial governments." He then discusses the different ways in which power can be divided between these levels of government, and the factors that influence the design of federal systems.

Renwick goes on to explore the history of federalism, from its origins in ancient Greece to its modern manifestations in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. He shows how federalism has evolved over time, and how it has been adapted to meet the changing needs of different societies.

In the final chapters of the book, Renwick discusses the challenges facing federal systems in the 21st century. He examines the tensions between central and regional governments, and the challenges of managing diversity in federal societies. He also considers the future of federalism, and the ways in which it may adapt to the changing global landscape.

Federalism: A Very Short is an essential guide to the complexities of federal systems. Renwick's clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to both students and general readers, and his insights will be of value to anyone interested in understanding the complexities of this important form of government.
