Since the end of the Cold War the global arena has become a place
for dynamic change, in particular for federal political units. The
focus on defunct federalisms draws attention not only to the
difference between state-making and nation building, it also points
to the fact that state-making does not necessarily lead to the
creation of a national identity. This comparative volume looks at
the track record of several defunct federalisms to identify options
that have been overlooked and decisions that precipitated the
collapse. Bringing together insights from the study of state
failure and federal collapse, it examines the ways in which
parallel assessment is crucial for suggesting the complex
structures of identity accommodation in federal entities. The
volume is ideal for advanced undergraduates and graduate students
as well as university lecturers and researchers working on the
issues related to contemporary federalism, history of federal units
and the questions of national identity.
