For thirty years, Alain-G. Gagnon has been one of the world's
leading experts on federalism and multinational democracies. In
Minority Nations in the Age of Uncertainty, he presents an
articulate and accessible introduction to the ways in which
minority nations have begun to empower themselves in a global
environment that is increasingly hostile to national minorities.
Comparing conditions in Quebec, Catalonia, and Scotland, Gagnon
offers six interrelated essays on national minorities, processes of
accommodation, and autonomy and self-determination within a modern
democratic context. Based on a long career of scholarly study and
public engagement, he argues that self-determination for these
"nations without states" is best achieved through intercultural
engagement and negotiation within the federal system, rather than
through independence movements. Already translated into fifteen
languages from the original French, Minority Nations in the Age of
Uncertainty is an essential text on the theory of multinational
federalism and the politics of minority nations.This edition also
features a foreword by noted political scientist and philosopher
James Tully that discusses the significance of Gagnon's work.
