"In many societies where the forces for integration and for separatism have been at odds with each other, the adoption of a federal political system as the solution has been a popular formula. It makes possible the large political and economic unit required to sustain genuine political independence and to facilitate rapid economic development while at the same time assuring the varied linguistic, racial and religious communities some autonomy. This study is concerned with an analysis of experience in other multicultural federations in order to see what light their experience may throw on similar Canadian problems"--Chapter I, Introduction.
