Riley uses examples from a range of countries, including the United States, Canada, Spain, India, and Belgium, to demonstrate the successes and failures of federalism in accommodating diverse national identities. The book discusses key moments in history when federal systems were tested by secessionist movements, regional unrest, and the pressures of globalization. It also critically evaluates the role of international law in shaping how federal systems respond to minority rights, and how the military has been utilized in maintaining national unity during periods of internal conflict.
This work offers a comprehensive examination of federalism's strengths and limitations in addressing the aspirations of national minorities and managing the tensions between local autonomy and national cohesion. It is an essential read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of federal governance in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
