	'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Federalism, Iraq, Spain, South Africa
		The nine provinces in South Africa were deliberately-- and as the result of a lengthy political process-- deisgned to be purely administrative units, and not units that in any way embodied any ethnic or cultural particularity...
		South Africa is often considered a parallel to Germany’s model of “administrative” federalism; I have also seen the characterisation “a unitary state with federal characteristics”.
