Federalism, Nationalism, and Multiculturalism

Abstract

M any commentators argue that federalism provides the most appropriate mechanism for accommodating the increasingly “multicultural” nature of modern societies. Federalism, it is said, respects the desire of groups to remain autonomous, and to retain their cultural distinctiveness, while nonetheless acknowledging the fact that these groups are not self-contained and isolated, but rather are increasingly and inextricably bound to each other in relations of economic and political interdependence. Moreover, since federalism is a notoriously flexible system, it can accommodate the fact that different groups desire different levels or forms of self-government. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
