December 30, 2024 Crafting State-Nations: India and Other Multinational Democracies
This book examines the viability of "state-nations"—democracies accommodating multiple cultural identities—versus "nation-states" prioritizing a single national identity. It uses case studies of India, Spain, Belgium, Sri Lanka, and Ukraine to explore how different policies, particularly federalism (especially asymmetrical federalism), impact the success of state-nations. The authors challenge the assumption that U.S.-style federalism is universally applicable, arguing it hinders inclusive democracy in diverse settings. The research draws on extensive original surveys and fieldwork, highlighting the importance of institutional design and political leadership in fostering national unity while respecting cultural diversity. Finally, the authors introduce "federacy" as a model for managing multinational societies within unitary states.
