Keywords:
federalism, nation, order, USA, Switzerland, GermanyAbstract
What is the right strategy of successful compound polities building? How to deal with social, economic, linguistic and cultural diversity of their constitutive parts? Is it necessary to depoliticise diversities and remove them into the private realm in order to achieve and maintain a nation’s unity? To what can extent political ideas influence the process of federal nation building? What is the role of an external threat, imagined or real? What is an adequate strategy for federal nation building among partners that are unequal in political, military and economic power? These are the questions that we explore in this article by looking at the three different experiences in successful federal nation building, US, German and Swiss.
