Whether federalism and subnational constitutions contribute to
or undermine minority rights has long been a subject of
controversy. Within the United States, the general view has been
that federalism has been detrimental to minority rights. In
contrast, other countries have seen federalism as crucial in
safeguarding rights of ethnic and religious minorities. This volume
provides the basis for a more nuanced assessment of the
contributions of federalism and subnational constitutions to
protecting minority rights by studying their impact in a variety of
federal systems.
This work explores both mature federal systems (Switzerland,
United States) systems in transition (Belgium, Bosnia,
Herzegovina), both quasifederal (Italy, Spain) and well-established
systems (Germany), both systems with considerable homogeneity of
population (Austria) and systems with extraordinary diversity
(India). It also analyses the various constitutional arrangements
that federal systems have devised for safeguarding minority rights
and given them a voice in political deliberations.
