Abstract

Today’s reality recalls the notion of federation as a form of intra-state organization. When this form is attached doctrinal and political autonomy disputes are becoming more obvious. International response to the crisis in Ukraine and Russia's attitude on the Crimean demonstrates once again the need to deepen the relationship between autonomy and federalism. In middle of March the Russia foreign ministry is calling on Ukraine to become a federal state and call fresh elections. In a statement posted on 17 March this year the ministry urged Ukraine’s Parliament to call a constitutional assembly which could draft a new constitution to make the country federal, handing more power to its regions. In this context Russia’s position is that Ukrainian regions should get broader autonomy. The present paper analyzes the link between federalism and autonomy trying to emphases advantages and disadvantages of this type of organization.
