Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper is to critically analyzes the impact of federalism and/or quasi-federal systems as strategies for avoiding the exacerbation of ethno-regional or racial conflict in divided societies. This will be a comparative analysis of Ethiopia, South Africa and Nigeria. In each of these cases new governments in recent years have been, as they attempted to implement new social contracts, constrained by a legacy of political instability and ethno-regional and/or racial conflict. The primary questions this essay will address are: What conditions have to be met before federalism or cooperative governance can serve as an agent of development and democracy in divided societies? Does institutional design most matter, or is it the process of choosing federal institutions most important? What explains the differential or similar outcomes in the cases under consideration? What are the implications of the findings for further research on governance, citizenship and democracy? The paper concludes with suggestions for further research.
