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. 410 0$aLaw in Context. 606 $aAutonomy$vCase studies 606 $aSelf-determination, National$vCase studies 615 0$aAutonomy 615 0$aSelf-determination, National 676 $a320.1/5 702 $aGhai$b Yash P.$f1938- 702 $aWoodman$b Sophia 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790700603321 996 $aPractising self-government$93707562 997 $aUNINA
