This development comes as the federal formula is increasingly seen as a solution to the coexistence of peoples of various cultures within a single state at a time of unprecedented globalization. Could Europe be regarded today as a federation? Or the difficult path towards the Treaty ratification rather means the rejection of the federal formula for Europe? And what about the problems of federalism in some States, notably in Belgium?
