Kommentar/Beschreibung

Over the past decades, federalism has spread all over the world and more and more countries have adopted different kinds of federal structures. Claims for more autonomy and secessionist movements are part of this story, too. Some federal structures were the result of ethnic tensions other ones were part of the reason for the outbreak of secessionism in certain regions of the world.
This course wants to deal with the link between federalism and ethnic conflict. Is federalism a mechanism to accommodate ethnic conflict and mitigate tensions, or do federal structures fuel the fires of ethnic violence in multinational states? Can claims for more autonomy be settled by adopting federal structures or does federalization provoke the outbreak of secessionist movements? To put it more general: Is federalism a “good” thing or something “bad”?
In order to answer all of these questions, we will first look at the different concepts and theories that link federalism with ethnic conflict and secessionism. Afterwards, we will deal with certain specific case studies that will not be limited to European cases, but will also include examples of the Global South.
