Exploring five distinct models of federal arrangement, this book
evaluates the relative merits of each model as a mechanism for
managing relations in ethnically divided societies. Two broad
approaches to this issue, accommodation and denial, are identified
and, from this, five distinct models of federal arrangement are
derived. The models; ethnic, anti-ethnic, territorial,
ethno-territorial, and federacy, are defined and then located
within their broader theoretical tradition. Detailed case studies
are used to evaluate the strengths and weakness of each model and
highlight patterns in the success and failure rates of the universe
of post-1945 federal arrangements. From this it is clear that two
forms of ethnically defined federal arrangement - federacy and
ethno-territorial federalism, are associated with low failure
rates, while ethnic federalism has enjoyed a far higher rate of
failure. The reasons for this are examined and the implications of
this for the design of federal systems in ethnically divided
societies are assessed. Federal Solutions to Ethnic Problems:
Accommodating Diversity advances a new argument within the field of
comparative politics, that certain forms of federal arrangement are
systematically more successful than others in ameliorating
ethnically conflicted societies and is essential reading for
students and scholars with an interest in politics and the Middle
East.
