Non-territorial autonomy (NTA) is a statecraft tool that is
increasingly gaining importance in societies seeking to accommodate
demands by ethno-cultural groups for a voice in cultural affairs
important to the protection and preservation of their identity,
such as language, education, and religion. As states recognize the
specific rights of identity minorities in multicultural and
multi-ethnic societies, they are faced with a need to improve their
diversity management regimes. NTA offers policy-makers a range of
options for institutional design adaptable to specific
circumstances and historical legacies. It devolves degrees of power
through legal frameworks and institutions in specific areas of
ethno-cultural life, while maintaining social unity at the core
level of society. Throughout Europe and North America, NTA exists
and is implemented at a state, regional, and local level. Much has
been written about the concept of autonomy and its usage as a
statecraft tool in states facing regional division, but little
literature addresses its non-territorial institutional and public
administration functions. This edited volume seeks to fill this
gap. Managing Diversity through Non-Territorial Autonomy: Assessing
Advantages, Deficiencies, and Risks, carves a space for contextual
knowledge production on NTA in law, as well as social and political
sciences. Contextual knowledge involves a description of
institutions and their functionality as well as of the
institutional and legal frames protecting these. What are the
institutions, bodies, and functions that ethno-cultural groups can
draw on when seeking to have a voice over their own affairs, as
well as over issues in society related to their identity
production? How are these entities incorporated and empowered to
have a voice? What degree of voice do they have, and how are they
designed to project this voice? Thus, contextual knowledge also
involves critical assessment and risk analysis as well as
penetrating insights as to the unintended consequences and hidden
agendas that may inform NTA policies. This volume is to provide
both policy-makers and ethno-cultural groups with a tool-kit that
promotes social cohesion while respecting diversity. This is the
first volume in a series of five which will examine the protection
and representation of minorities through non-territorial means.
