DOWNLOAD EBOOKMultinational federations rest on the coexistence of two or more nations within a single polity. Within these federations, minority nations play a significant role as their character differs from the other building blocks of the federation. This edited volume offers a comprehensive comparison of two such minority nations - Quebec in Canada and Wallonia in Belgium - which exemplifies many dimensions, themes and issues highly resonant to the study of federalism and regionalism across the globe. Quebec and Wallonia have experienced several decades of federal dynamics where both regions have had to find their way as a minority nation in a multinational federation. For those studying federalism and regionalism their importance lies in a number of characteristics, but principally in the fact of these minority nations have transformed into mini-states with fully fledged legislative powers within their federation. This book seeks to study the specific dynamics within these small worlds and between them and the rest of the federation. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of federalism, nationalism and regionalism, comparative politics and policies, political ideas and social movements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFollowing the breakdown of the communist system, violent, often ethnic in origin, conflicts erupted in the Balkans, in the Caucasus and elsewhere. Europe was suddenly confronted with nationalist passions and violence not experienced since the Second World War. The present volume, based on a seminar held in Slovenia, analyses some of these conflicts, focusing on the Balkans. The authors explore to what extent law can contribute to a peaceful settlement and prevent wide-scale violations of human rights.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report contains a number of papers which examine the national laws of European countries regarding the treatment and protection of people belonging to national minorities who live in states outside the borders of their country of origin. This study was undertaken in order to establish whether such laws are compatible with the principles of international law and Council of Europe standards, following the adoption by Hungary in 2001 of an Act which provides benefits and assistance to those of Hungarian origin or identity who live in neighbouring countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis publication contains the reports presented at the UniDem Seminar in Skopje. Foreign policy unquestionably serves the national interest in the broadest sense but nowadays it is no longer left entirely to discretion of governments. The legal foundation of foreign policy are made up both of rules of international law and rules of domestic law, whilst remaining an under-regulated area of democracy and of the law. The seminar in Skopje was an initiative which permitted an exchange of views on this subject between representatives of different countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the Anthropocene sustainable development responds to socio-economic, environmental and political crises provoked by humankind due to global warming and the great acceleration of human intervention in ecosystems. This book introduces readers to current debates on sustainable development and to a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. Regional integration and supranational institutions are fundamental for sustainable development. The democratisation of the international system requires a new multilateralism. Global problems of demography, economic ideology of unlimited growth, the prevailing technocratic paradigm, consumerism, problems of waste, fossil fuels, industrial food production, use of fertilisers, water management and climate change are discussed, and the importance of multilateral agreements for security, sustainable peace and development is explored. This planetary crisis may be solved by international cooperation based on the UN sustainable development goals. This book - provides a concise synthesis of the main subjects of sustainable development studies- links development studies to multilateral diplomacy as practised by UN bodies and organisations- gives a new holistic and multidisciplinary approach to environmental and social sciences in the Anthropocene epoch.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCe volume contient les rapports du séminaire organisé par la Commission de Venise en coopération avec la Cour constitutionnelle de la République de Bulgarie à Sofia (Bulgarie), les 28 et 29 mai 2004. Le droit électoral et la coopération avec les cours constitutionnelles et les juridictions équivalentes sont deux des piliers de l'activité de la Commission de Venise depuis sa création en 1990. Cependant, c'est la première fois que la Commission organise un débat d'un tel niveau se concentrant sur le rôle joué par la justice constitutionnelle dans le processus électoral. Les rapports traitent de sujets fondamentaux tels que les avantages et les inconvénients des différents systèmes électoraux, la jurisprudence des plus hautes juridictions nationales sur le contentieux électoral, la participation des étrangers au processus électoral au niveau local, les droits électoraux des individus ayant la nationalité de plusieurs Etats européens et les développements possibles du droit électoral à l'intérieur de l'Union européenne.
