ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 connects federalism and the “Law of Diversity” by proposing the former as a potentially useful explanatory tool to understand the emergent instruments of the latter better. This is based on a thorough analysis of federal thought, an exploration of the possible analytical function of federalism as a frame of understanding for phenomena – like the innovative models for the accommodation of diversity – that imply the diffusion of power through governance means and a justification of the theoretical potential of federal theory to understand their functioning and provide solutions for their further development.
