Non-territorial autonomy is an unusual method of government based
on the notion of the devolution of power to entities within the
state which exercise jurisdiction over a population defined by
personal features (such as opting for a particular ethnic
nationality) rather than by geographical location (such as the
region in which they live). Developed theoretically by Karl Renner
in the early twentieth century as a mechanism for responding to
demands for self-government from dispersed minorities within the
Austro-Hungarian empire, it had earlier roots in the Ottoman
empire, and later formed the basis for constitutional experiments
in Estonia, in Belgium, and in states with sizeable but dispersed
minorities. More recently, efforts have been made to apply it in
respect of indigenous communities. This approach to the management
of ethnic conflict has attracted a small literature, but there is
no comprehensive overview of its application. The intention of this
volume is to fill this gap, for the first time offering a
comparative assessment of the significance of this political
institutional device. Authors of case studies follow a common
framework. This book was published as a special issue of
Ethnopolitics.
