Multinational Federations

This is the first comparative volume focusing on multinational federations, bringing together an international range of expert scholars on federalism.

Multinational federations reflect the increasing contemporary global trend towards social differentiation. The new millennium has coincided with the unleashing of powerful forces of cultural-ideological differentiation that have acquired a dramatic constitutional and political salience across the world. Today we allude to this in broad terms as identity politics.

Multinational federations are federal states whose principal purpose is to accommodate, manage and resolve some of the most intractable political conflicts of our time that emerge from identity politics: those that stem largely from competing national visions, whether within or between established states. Nationalism and national identities in their many forms have not disappeared. Indeed, they have been revitalised and rekindled in many established states. Consequently this unique book draws on a wide range of country studies including Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, India, Spain, Russia, Cyprus, Switzerland and the European Union (EU) in order to show the pivotal relationship between federalism and nationalism. In so doing it addresses the practical relevance of federalism to the new political recognition of difference and diversity in the specific form of national minoritarianism.

This book will be of strong interest to students and researchers of federalism, democracy and nationalism.

Preface

The origin of this volume of essays dates back to an international research workshop on Multinational Federations held in April 2003 at Tickton Grange Hotel in the rolling countryside just outside the market town of Beverley, East Yorkshire, England. The workshop was generously funded by the James Madison Trust (JMT), London and the participants were invited to contribute papers on the specific problem of multinationalism in federal states. The papers presented at that meeting were subsequently revised, updated and resubmitted in 2004, and then subjected in 2005 to the editorial pens of Michael Burgess and John Pinder. The result of this lengthy but thorough process has been the collation of the following 12 chapters that constitutes the first edited collection of essays on multinational federations.
