Separatism or Federalism : A Sovereign Empowerment

Introduction

Over the years , multi-disciplinary studies have been conducted to examine the phenomenal transition of governments and the rise of political powers . The deepening examination on the phenomenon of separatism , secession , autonomy , federalism are implied by political historians as brought about by colonialism , in which the native people in a colony refuses the political system of the colonizers

The civil disobedience of the native people from certain ruling of the conqueror preserves the racial

or ethnic practices . However , the assimilation of races through cross-cultural interactions in the colony has patterned the emergence of new society and transition of governmental functions . The societal transformation has impacted the socio-cultural , economic , political , and religious beliefs

Sociological findings reveal interracial marriages and collaboration of several natives with their colonizers to subsist the way of life . In contrast , many natives continuously adopt their indigenous practices varying on ethnic and tribal form of governance that consequently affected the colonizers ' government centralization

In the Separatism and Empire Building in the 21st Century ' James Petras stated that Divide and Conquer ' has been the vital component to control the population and resources of a colony . In every British officer in India , about 50 Sikhs , Gurkhas , Muslims and Hindus serve in the British Army . The European occupations of Africa and Asia have been fought by its own natives as commanded by white officers . The socio-cultural-religious practices were converted and subjugated by punishing the vigilant natives . Petras implied the correlation of the European conquest to the `divide and conquer ' method of the United States that strategically promoted the establishment of its foreign enterprises , democratization , and approaches to militarism with the alliances of nations (Petras 1

The withdrawal for independence seeks to establish a new structural pattern in the society . The new archetype of autonomy is central within its socio-political-cultural-religious functions for independent governance

Separatism is broadly correlated with civil disobedience and armed struggle . The acts of separatism are mostly reacted by governments for the rationale of political stabilization and upholding national security . In contrast , the issue on separatism has varied historical basis as brought about by culture , religion , and ethnicity . It may be also viewed as a transitional and transformational conflict in the society

The examination on separatism espouses the question : Why do Separatist movements succeed in some countries and does not in others ? On the other hand , we may further examine the relationship of separatism to the transition of federalism . Through that examination , we may pose a similar question : How federalism and national integration work in some countries and not in others ? These questions shall be the hypothetical derivative of study on how separatism or federalism could be a sovereign empowerment

Methodology
