Abstract
Asymmetrical federalism is an important concept in the constitutions of
Belgium, Canada, Germany and India. This concept has recently given way
to a much more sustained intellectual inquiry of philosophical, theoretical, and empirical
foundations. It incorporates two different connotations; to some it signifies a positive instrument
designed to strengthen the federal values while to others, it carries the meaning of threat and
danger to the stability of the state. In symmetry each state is a miniature reflection of the whole
political system, the question of differences on any major issue does not arise. Since there is
always an equal representation of the states in the spheres of the government, it does not allow
any room for special social, economic, or political privileges. The paper also dilates on economic
federalism under centralized and decentralized forms within the parameters of three
constitutional indicators.
