"In spite of the centralizing and unitarist tendencies of military rule, Nigeria is a country in which commitment to federalism within both the political class and civil society has remained very high. This book is an important collection of scholarly papers on the theory and practice of federalism in Nigeria, with comparative case studies on India, Yugoslavia, Ethiopia and other African countries, including the debate over the federal option in South Africa and Sudan. It is an outstanding contribution to the study of federalism as a conflict-preventing mode of governance and a system of power sharing among regional and nationality groups".
