Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are travelling a road to federalism. Institutions and ethnic identity have interacted to privilege some and marginalise others. But when the right conditions prevail, political equality can be restored. This book charts the origins and evolution of federalism and other approaches to the accommodation of minority ethnic groups in Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. It applies a historical institutionalism methodology to understand why federalism has been resisted, what causes it to be established and what design options are most likely to balance otherwise competing centripetal and centrifugal forces. Breen shows how Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are finding a middle ground whereby deliberative and moderating institutions are combined with accommodating ones to support a political equality among groups and individuals"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Federal government $z Nepal. 650 0 $a Federal government $z Burma. 650 0 $a Federal government $z Sri Lanka. 651 0 $a Nepal $x Ethnic relations. 651 0 $a Burma $x Ethnic relations. 651 0 $a Sri Lanka $x Ethnic relations. 651 0 $a Nepal $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Burma $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Sri Lanka $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Federal government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922333 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Burma. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207835 651 7 $a Nepal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206102 651 7 $a Sri Lanka. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208730 830 0 $a Politics in Asia series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020020527.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B68CDEEE840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
