This book provides an in-depth analysis of how constitutionalism
and diversity can be friends and foes alike in contemporary
multinational democracies. By focusing mainly on the dynamics
between Quebec and Canada and comparing these with ongoing issues
in Catalonia and Spain, Flanders and Belgium, and South Tyrol and
Italy, the authors offer new insights into the public management of
national diversity. In doing so, they sought to unpack the numerous
challenges divided societies are facing. The pieces that together
form the title of this book are not merely of symbolic
significance. Constitutionalism v Diversity: Essays on Federal
Democracy echoes the four underlying principles of the Canadian
Constitution that the Supreme Court of Canada identified in its
famous 1998 Reference re Secession of Quebec. These are (1)
federalism, (2) democracy, (3) constitutionalism and the rule of
law, and (4) protection of minorities. While these four concepts
are at the very core of both authors' argument and approach, the
Supreme Court of Canada's Secession Reference is guiding them
through the book by providing a robust and meaningful theoretical
and analytical framework. These principles appear as universal
normative parameters societies should see as ideals to pursue and
translate - while adapting their content to the specific context -
into concrete institutions and practices. Even more today this book
shows the great analytical value of these four principles to
critically appraise of the way multinational liberal democracies in
general and federal systems in particular are evolving.
