There is no one-size-fits-all decentralized fix to deeply divided
and conflict-ridden states. One of the hotly debated policy
prescriptions for states facing self-determination demands is some
form of decentralized governance - including regional autonomy
arrangements and federalism - which grants minority groups a degree
of self-rule. Yet the track record of existing decentralized states
suggests that these have widely divergent capacity to contain
conflicts within their borders. Through in-depth case studies of
Chechnya, Punjab and Quebec, as well as a statistical cross-country
analysis, this book argues that while policy, fiscal approach, and
political decentralization can, indeed, be peace-preserving at
times, the effects of these institutions are conditioned by traits
of the societies they (are meant to) govern. Decentralization may
help preserve peace in one country or in one region, but it may
have just the opposite effect in a country or region with different
ethnic and economic characteristics.
