The difference between Coming Together and Holding Together type of federations are as follows:

Coming Together Federalism involves independent states coming together on their own to form a bigger unit.	In Holding Together Federation, the large power or country decides to divide its power between its constituent states and national government.
In this type of federation, units try to increase their security by pooling sovereignty and retaining identity.	In this type of federation, there is the absence of pooling sovereignty and retaining identity. In fact in this federation the central government subordinates over the constituent units.
All the constituent units usually have equal power and are strong vis-a-vis the federal government in the Coming Together Federation.	The central government tends to be more powerful vis-a-vis the states in Holding Together Federation. Sometimes constituent units of the federation have unequal powers. For example, in India, Jammu and Kashmir have been granted special status.
United States of America, Switzerland, and Australia are examples of Coming Together Federations.	India, Spain and Belgium are examples of Holding Together Federations.
