Abstract Less developed countries do not conform easily to the accepted patterns of federalism set out in the literature. Third World constitutions tend to be short-lived and in many cases the federations have disintegrated or have become, in real terms, unitary states. Common factors are the strong influence of ethnic or territorial élites, whether of traditional or modern type, and the difficulty experienced by the regime in reversing anti-state norms left over from the preindependence period. Even where a federal solution is successfully legitimized, as in India, Malaysia, and Nigeria, it takes a centrally dominated form. Quasi-federal states such as Sudan and Cameroon exhibit a similar problem of the regime's legitimacy in culturally distinct peripheral areas. Federalism is chosen not for convenience but for survival. /// Les pays moins développés ne se conforment pas aisément aux modèles de fédéralisme acceptés et traités par la littérature. Les constitutions d'ordre fédéral tendent à avoir la vie courte et, dans plusieurs cas, les fédérations ont cédé a l'éclatement pour devenir, en réalité, des états unitaires. La grande influence des élites ethniques ou territoriales, qu'elles soient de type traditionnel ou moderne, et les difficultés que rencontre un tel régime pour renverser les normes antiétatiques remontant á la periode de pré-indépendance constituent les facteurs propres a ces federations. Meme aux endroits tels qu'en Inde, en Malaisie et au Nigéria où l'option du fédéralisme est légitimisée avec succès, le régime présente une structure dominée par le centre. Les états quasi-fédéraux comme le Soudan et le Cameroun rencontrent un problème similaire quant à la légitimité du régime dans les régions culturellement distinctes situées en périphérie. Le fédéralisme n'est pas un choix d'adaptation convenable mais un de survie. Show
