Such scholars’ claims that studies on the history of federalism show less receptiveness to pluralism since there are more ‘monistic’ than ‘pluralistic’ theories of federalism (Karmis and Norman 2005: 9). It is particularly argued ‘adopting older traditions of federal theory to deal with identity-related claims in contemporary societies is considered as a way to use these political arrangements to address issues that they were not originally designed to do’ (Karmis and Norman 2005: 9). According to this assertion, federalism is considered to be a model that is historically unrelated to any regulation of cultural pluralism (Requejo 2005: 311).
The right to secession from an existing member state of the United Nations does not exist in the instruments of the UN or in the practice followed by the organisation, since to invoke it is believed to disrupt the national unity and territorial integrity of member states. Despite that, self-determination has been used for a long time in light of colonial domination; the usage has been transformed from referring to the nation-state to address the right of sub-groups in member countries of the United Nations.
The approaches include different arrangements such as territorial autonomy, non-territorial federalism, veto powers, guaranteed representation in central institutions, land claims, affirmative action, reservations and language rights (Schaefer 2008: 909). The sections that follow assess some of the most prominent modes of accommodating multicultural diversity in different parts of the world including multicultural federalism, consociationalism and the principle of the right to self-determination.
