Is liberalism really compatible with nationalism? Are there limits to linguistic nation-building policies? What arguments justify the imposition of national languages? This book addresses these questions by examining the linguistic disputes in Catalonia and Flanders, two major cases of sub-state nationalism. The book connects two strands of arguments: the political arguments around contested linguistic policies, drawing on a rich set of primary and secondary sources, and the theoretical arguments around liberalism and nationalism. The study also compares the historical trajectory and political dynamics of Catalan and Flemish nationalism. It shows that the relationship between language and nationhood is politically constructed through state nation-building and minority activism. The findings highlight the relevance and pervasiveness of nationalism in contemporary social and political life. This book will appeal to scholars and upper-level students interested in nationalism, contemporary political theory, the politics of language, and comparative territorial politics.

These questions and research areas – secession, multilevel government, and political economy – were the focus of the writing and scholarship of Robert (Bob) Andrew Young (1950–2017), Canada Research Chair in Multilevel Governance at the University of Western Ontario and one of Canada's most distinguished political scientists. In Across Boundaries Young's former colleagues and students bring toge...
Quanto mais aprofundada for a globalização, ter-se-á maior necessidade de cooperação. Algumas temáticas emergem de forma mais acelerada frente à cooperação, sendo os direitos humanos uma delas. Imprescindível se coloca a análise da importância dos sistemas internacionais de proteção dos direitos humanos, especialmente a nível regional. Objetiva-se a prospectar a gradativa melhora dos direitos humanos pela harmonização, pela cooperação, das legislações nacionais quanto à execução das sentenças interamericanas. Examina-se todo o artefato estatal, os institutos da cooperação internacional e o histórico dos direitos humanos. Ainda, exploram-se os Estados que integram a Corte Interamericana, seus marcos internos de proteção e suas previsões sobre o cumprimento das sentenças internacionais.
