Nations built on exclusion and assimilation, decades of civil war,
widespread poverty, authoritarianism and the decline of democracy.
Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are travelling a road to federalism.
Institutions and ethnic identity have interacted to privilege some
and marginalise others. But when the right conditions prevail,
political equality can be restored. This book charts the origins
and evolution of federalism and other approaches to the
accommodation of minority ethnic groups in Nepal, Myanmar and Sri
Lanka. It applies a historical institutionalism methodology to
understand why federalism has been resisted, what causes it to be
established and what design options are most likely to balance
otherwise competing centripetal and centrifugal forces. Breen shows
how Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are finding a middle ground
whereby deliberative and moderating institutions are combined with
accommodating ones to support a political equality among groups and
individuals.
