The empirical evidence on federal and regional polities often shows critical imbalances in the territorial division of powers beyond what has been formally established in the constitutional rules. This volume highlights the rights, institutions, decision-making processes, and procedural rules that can protect and develop the practical political, economic, and cultural powers of federated and regional entities, especially those linked to territorial national minorities. The authors focus on federalism as a safeguard of self-rule, as well as a set of institutional and procedural rules to avoid the territorial dimension of the "tyranny of the majority". They answer two fundamental questions: How is it possible to design new stable and fairer federal agreements between national minorities and majorities where there is no single ideal solution? Is there a need for a new kind of "defensive federal model" for approaching national pluralism in liberal democracies? This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of federalism, national diversity, and democracy, as well as policymakers and practitioners in both public and private institutions.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish  aConsociational, Constitutional, Decision-Making, Defensive, Democracy, Diversity, Federal, Federalism, Government, Institution, Nation, National, Pluralism, Political Asymmetries, Power-Sharing, Procedure, Region, Self-Govern, Self-Rule, Territorial Minorities, Tyranny of the Majority  athema EDItEUR::J Society and Social Sciences::JP Politics and government1 aRequejo, Ferran4oth1 aSanjaume-Calvet, Marc4edt1 aSanjaume-Calvet, Marc4oth40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/9543570zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication
