Introduction: Constitutional Structures and the Multinational Democracies Paradigm
摘要
Multinational liberal democracies differ in their constitutional structures and in the constitutional limitations and/or opportunities for accommodation of diversity offered by their territorial regimes. Territorial regimes constitute models of state that exhibit federalism, autonomism, regionalism, or even colonialism. How the constitutional structures of such territorial regimes interact with politics at the sub-state and state levels, and how politics can provoke evolution in the constitutional structures of such territorial regimes is the central concern of this book.
