It involves negotiations over the very nature of the state and the implications of self-determination. Multinational democracies are exposed to challenges to the existing order since they are composed of communities with distinct cultures, histories and aspirations, looking to mutually agreed upon terms of coexistence. Conflict over the recognition of these multiple identities and the distribution of power and resources is inevitable and, indeed, part of what defines democratic life in multinational societies. In 'Constitutional Politics in Multinational Democracies', Andre Lecours, Nikola Brassard-Dion and Guy Laforest bring together experts on multinational democracies to analyze the claims of minority nations about their political future, and the responses they elicit through constitutional politics. Essays focus on the nature, actors, and political process in multinational democracies. This framework allows for a multidimensional examination of crucial political periods in these democracies by assessing what is constitutional politics, who is involved in it, and how it happens. Case studies explored within this framework include Catalonia and Spain, Puerto Rico and the United States, Scotland and the United Kingdom, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Quebec and the Metis People in Canada. Theoretically significant and empirically-rich, 'Constitutional Politics in Multinational Democracies' is a necessary read for any student of multinationalism."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Constitutional history $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Democracy $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Comparative government $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Self-determination, National $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Minorities $x Political activity $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Multinational states. 650 7 $a Self-determination, National. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111610 650 7 $a Multinational states. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748004 650 7 $a Minorities $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023202 650 7 $a Comparative government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871341 650 7 $a Constitutional history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875777 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Lecours, Andre, $d 1972- $e editor. 700 1 $a Brassard-Dion, Nikola, $d 1988- $e editor. 700 1 $a Laforest, Guy, $d 1955- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Constitutional politics in multinational democracies. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen'sUniversity Press, 2021 $z 9780228007456 $z 9780228007456 $w (OCoLC)1237641696 830 0 $a Democracy, diversity, and citizen engagement series ; $v 5. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A37B64E8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
