Practising Self-Government
Autonomy provides a framework that allows for regions within countries to exercise self-government beyond the extent available to other sub-state units. This book presents detailed case studies of thirteen such autonomies from around the world, in which noted experts on each outline the constitutional, legal and institutional frameworks as well as how these arrangements have worked in practice to protect minority rights and prevent secession of the territories in question. The volume's editors draw on the case studies to provide a comparative analysis of how autonomy works and the political and institutional conditions under which it is likely to become a workable arrangement for management of the differences that brought it into being.
100 Years of Modern Territorial Autonomy - Autonomy around the World
An unclouded look at territorial autonomy back and forward, 100 years after the establishment of the first "modern" territorial autonomy in a democratic state: the Åland Islands in Finland in 1921/22. Where has autonomy been successful to ensure minority protection and self-government, where has it failed, where is it in crisis, where is it aspired to? In which cases would autonomy settle open conflicts between states and regional communities, and in which cases of national emancipation is autonomy no longer sufficient? In 2021, after 100 years of experience with territorial autonomy in all parts of the world, this concept for solving sub-state conflicts is still underestimated. Background ...

One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Orders - Perspectives of Evolution
“One Country, Two Systems, Three Legal Orders” – Perspectives of Evolution – : Essays on Macau’s Autonomy after the Resumption of Sovereignty by China” can be said, in a short preamble-like manner, to be a book that provides a comprehensive look at several issues regarding public law that arise from, or correlate with, the Chinese apex motto for reunification – One Country, Two Systems – and its implementation in Macau and Hong Kong.

A History of International Law in Italy
This volume critically reassesses the history and impact of international law in Italy. It examines how Italy's engagement with international law has been influenced and cross-fertilized by global dynamics, in terms of theories, methodologies, or professional networks. It asks to what extent historical and political turning points influenced this engagement, especially where scholars were part of broader academic and public debates or even active participants in the role of legal advisers or politicians. It explores how international law was used or misused by relevant actors in such contexts. Bringing together scholars specialized in international law and legal history, this volume first pr...
100 Jahre moderne Territorialautonomie - Autonomie weltweit
Ein ungetrübter Blick auf Territorialautonomie zurück und nach vorn, 100 Jahre nach der Gründung der ersten modernen Territorialautonomie in einem demokratischen Rechtsstaat: die Åland-Inseln in Finnland 1921/22. Wo war Autonomie zwecks Minderheitenschutz und Selbstregierung erfolgreich, wo ist sie gescheitert, wo ist sie in Krise, wo wird sie angestrebt? In welchen Fällen wäre Autonomie die optimale Lösung für offene Konflikte zwischen Staaten und regionalen Gemeinschaften, und in welchen Fällen nationaler Emanzipation reicht Autonomie nicht mehr aus? 2021, nach 100 Jahren Erfahrungen mit Territorialautonomie in allen Erdteilen, wird dieses Konzept zur Lösung innerstaatlicher ...
