Multinational Federations - Routledge Studies in Federalism and Decentralization (Hardback)
Michael Burgess (editor), John Pinder (editor)- We can order this
This is the first comparative volume available on multinational federations, bringing together an international range of experts on federalism.
Multinational federations are federal states intended to provide a framework that can accommodate, manage and resolve some of the most intractable political conflicts of our time that emerge from identity politics: those that stem from competing national visions, whether within or between established states.
Featuring key experts in the field such as Michael Burgess, Alain Gagnon and Ronald Watts, this unique book draws on a wide geographical range of country studies including Belgium, Canada, India, Malaysia, Spain, Russia, Cyprus, India, Switzerland and the EU in order to illustrate the pivotal relationship between federalism and nationalism. In so doing, it addresses the practical relevance of federalism to the new political recognition of difference and diversity in the specific form of national minoritarianism.
Multinational Federations will be of strong interest to students and researchers of federalism, democracy and nationalism.
