81. Consociation and Federation: Conceptual and Empirical Links, A. Lijphart, Arend, This Journal, 1979, 12, 499-515, Lijphart has recently shown that consociation and federation are overlapping concepts and argues that federal systems where ethnicity is territorially based can be consociational (Switzerland) or employ certain consociational devices (Canada, India, Nigeria). Although both systems are seen as accommodating the tensions between the segments of a plural society within a single sovereign state, the case is not ade that either is proof against secession.

See (Princeton: Princeton University Press Foreign governments and other international actors may also attempt to mediate a secessionist dispute, as in the case of the British government's and the Organization of African Unity's attempts to mediate the Nigerian-Biafran struggle.
