Other titles: Emerging right to autonomy?
Description: "With a scholarly attention to analytical precision, factual accuracy, and scrupulous objectivity the authors of the present volume - coming from such diverse fields as international law, philosophy, ethics, economics, political science - detail and explore the protean character of autonomy as both a concept (autonomy's subtypes, autonomy vs. other arrangements for the diffusion of power within heterogeneous societies, new definitions of the concept, etc.) and a practice (the potential of autonomy in the peaceful resolution of ethnic conflicts; comparative case studies, ranging from Greenland to Eritrea, from the Baltic States to South Asia)." "This book will hold particular appeal for all those (students, academics, policymakers, practitioners) who are on a quest for empowering insights vis-a-vis State-minority modus vivendi and ways to mitigate inter-group tensions by compromise."--BOOK JACKET.
