Archives of federalism

Federalism has a long and proud tradition, both intellectual and political. This archives section is a store of the most interesting and important documents in the history of federalism, particularly as argued for in the UK.

Perhaps the most important document in this archive is Pacifism is not enough, written by Lord Lothian in 1935 as the League of Nations was proving itself unable to restrain dictatorship and preserve peace.
