  The paradox of federalism is about whether self-rule accommodates or exacerbates ethnic divisions. A federal arrangement which recognizes ethno-linguistic diversity to help manage divisions can also pave the way for eventual disintegration. This book outlines under what conditions federalism can deliver its promise of resolving ethnic conflict.
