warsamaale Posted July 3, 2013 http://transitions.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/06/11/five_hundred_kings_one_throne_why_federalism_works?wpisrc=obinsite When polities are trying to make the transition from authoritarianism (or anarchy) to democracy, notions of national identity aren't strictly defined and can't be taken for granted. Some groups within society may push for wide-ranging regional autonomy; others may insist on the concentration of power within the national capital. The trick lies in finding compromises that offer maximum respect to local aspirations while allowing for efficient government. we need even smaller units that are than currently envisaged for effective governance.
