To a multi-ethnic society like Myanmar it offers systemic tools to strengthen such kind of diversity. This refers not only to the legal and executive branches but is also important with respect to the constitutional law basis of a federal system. Rainer Grote focuses on the different dimensions of federalism, the amazing career of federalism as a model of state organization, and new forms of federalism such as multinational federalism.
