Federations are generally a combination of multiple units having difference of interests. This difference of interests generally raises controversies among units as a result of variances that exist in natural and political structure of any federation of the world. These structural differences in the federations lead to asymmetric federalism when some federations try to compensate the natural and structural differences constitutionally to settle issues related to the demands of their federating units. In recent years, asymmetric federalism received great attention of political scholars. Many studies accentuated origin, evolution, conceptual issues and modifications in conceptual framework, effects and degree among world’s federations. While the focus here is to explore this element of federalism in the federal system of Pakistan as Pakistan is a federal state, comprising unequal federating units. In doing so, this study examines a large number of theoretical foundations, natural structure of the country and constitutional schemes to observe whether the case of asymmetry exists in the federal system of Pakistan or not?
