The international symposium examined the following questions:
∙ How does federalism as a pragmatic and adaptable tool of governance contribute to the management and resolution of conflicts?
∙ What are the promises of federalism as a tool for conflict management? What are its pitfalls?
∙ What influence do constitutional designs; power sharing arrangements and litigation procedures have in federal systems and emerging federations?
It brought together participants from 22 countries with various backgrounds. Academics, Members of Parliaments, government representatives, civil servants, representatives from civil society and private sector organisations as well as ethnic minorities and of course it also included a delegation from Myanmar.
