520 |a“This paper ... explores existing concepts, metaphors and interpretations of Aboriginal treaty federalism and compares them with European-centred foundations of federalist thought such as symbiosis, communication, autarchy and confederation. The paper tries to argue three main points: First, there is a startling similarity between traditional concepts of Aboriginal federalism and European federal thought, as especially in the political theory of Johannes Althusius (1557-1638). Second, these early-modern beginnings of European federal thinking not only provided in their time a full-fledged practical alternative to the rise of state absolutism but can only be rediscovered today in all kinds of federal and quasi-federal political arrangements seeking to break away from the practice of exclusive and centralized state authority. Third, the classical modern federal state today appears far more based on principles of centralized statehood than committed to the original principles of federal political organization"--Intro., p. [6].
