ABSTRACT

The chapter argues that the positive growth of cooperative federalism will provide for enabling inputs in many areas of the relations between subnational sentiments and federal elements. The nationalistic feelings, by itself, may not offer a kind of overarching influence of political phenomena, except in contingencies like war, internal emergency, and fiscal crisis. Accommodation of the differences and divergences will be taken care of by the federal culture, and it is exactly here we find the potentials of civil society development.
