Abstract
In this final chapter, I bring together federalism theory, economic regionalism, sub-state nationalism, and solidarity and engage with several questions, such as: why is it important to acknowledge the existence of economic regionalism? Is there a legal or moral obligation to accommodate the interests of politically and economically strong regions? How can this be done in a way that respects the other territorial units and protects the integrity of the state? The objective is to find a way to accommodate the needs of the different parts, in a way that is compatible with the integrity of the state.
