Always include your source link so that everyone can see that you’re posting junk notes on some crap ideas from 1848!

As i told u before, u r not capable to evaluate Cyprus problem in it's very unique own parameters. Your crap, embryonic ape mentality will never let u get such a mentality. Keep repeating ur nonsense, nonpragmatic; junk "ideas", like TPap.
Traditional national feeling in a civil society does not need reinforcement by nationalidentity policies. Only the construction of sub-nations in multinational states have to rely onidentity politics. The sub-nations in devolutionary federalist states have to fight the prejudicethat “symmetrical federalism” or equal treatment of all the regions is “rational,” whereasspecial protection of sub-nations is “irrational”. In Spain the privileges of the three “sub-nations” (Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia) meet with counter-slogans such as “cafépara todos”. When the other regions get additional rights, the sub-nations make further claimsand consequently are a blamed for getting “coffee plus brandy”. A problem of moderndemocratic federalism is that symmetrical schemes of early “coming-together-federalisms” donot work in a social situation of centrifugal tendencies, limited by “keeping-together-federalism.” At least in the European Union John C. Calhoun’s (1853, 1953: 23) idea of“concurrent or constitutional majorities” - close to a liberum veto - is no longer viable as amodel of a loose confederation of “sovereign” states. But Calhoun’s basic idea for a “properorganism”, to “regard interests as well as numbers” had a kind of revival. In a more integrated way the sub-nations in post-modern federalism ask for “concurrent majorities” on the level ofregional autonomy. Federalism again became a normative concept.
