metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The task of managing political-territorial diversity is of great importance in contemporary world
  due to territorial heterogeneity, primarily ethnic heterogeneity, of the states is increasingly politicized,
  giving rise to movements for self-determination, risks of separatism and a threat to the
  territorial integrity of the state. The experience of countries such as India, where a large number of
  self-determination movements can be found, and a specific model for managing ethno-territorial
  heterogeneity has emerged, is of particular interest. India has adopted an asymmetrical ethnic
  federalism, and the trajectory of reforms directed to accommodate the demands of multiple ethnic
  movements for self-determination tends to be reactive. At the same time, a definite set of institutional
  solutions has developed in India, so that both the demands of self-determination movements
  and the ongoing reforms accord to normative/imitative isomorphism. A comparative review
  of the influence of the Indian model on the accommodation of demands of more than 30 ethnic
  self-determination movements, carried out on the basis of such parameters as the specificity of
  the respective ethnic group, the nature of the demands, as well as institutional reforms, allows us
  to conclude that the effects of the Indian model are ambiguous. In some cases, conflicts have
  been resolved, but in others they continue, escalate, and sometimes even multiply, as concessions
  and reforms incite new demands and escalate new movements. The “path dependency” is
  clearly exposed here: once you take the path of asymmetrical ethnic federalism, it is incredibly
  difficult to turn away from this path. As regards individual self-determination movements, the effectiveness
  of reforms is determined not so much by their content as by the context in which they
  are carried out.
