This series offers an academic exploration of why countries choose federalism, examining the historical, socio-cultural, economic, and security-related motivations that shape political systems worldwide. Students will analyze the conditions and circumstances that drive nations to adopt federal arrangements — including the need to manage ethnic diversity, accommodate regional interests, ensure territorial integrity, and promote economic cooperation. Through comparative case studies, students gain a nuanced understanding of the varied forces that make federalism an attractive governance model across different political contexts.
