Here is a premise:
What we hope to demonstrate in describing what has been achieved in these selected states is both their differences and their similarities, the range of different processes, structures, and strategies that have led to their successes, and the basic commonalties that underlie them in terms of vision, inclusiveness, leadership and commitment.

Here is a hypothesis:
We hope that by describing what has been accomplished in the states, the differences and similarities will be even more muddied and unclear.

Is it possible to conclude that if the premise is true, then so is the hypothesis?
no
