To the question of the problems of modern federal States of Afric
Abstract
The article, divided into three semantic fragments, attempts to investigate the phenomenon of defective federalism and federal systems. The author proceeds from the fact that there are three main aspects of federal relations: identity, democratization and functional load. The analysis of these three dimensions allows us to conclude about the presence or absence of defects in the federal state. In the main part of the study, the author of the article analyzes the experience of the functioning of federal relations in Africa: Ethiopia, the Comoros, and sub-Saharan states. The main place in the article is devoted to understanding the phenomenon of asymmetry of the federal state and whether asymmetry can be considered a defect or a political technology that prevents secession processes
