This volume describes and analyzes alternative and emerging models
of non-territorial autonomy (NTA), particularly in relation to
decentralization. The authors push the NTA debate in new directions
by offering a re-conceptualization based on ethno-cultural
bottom-up decentralized action that redefines autonomy into its
true sense of autonomous action. Through description, critical
analysis, and evaluation of several case studies, this book
assesses the potential for new paradigms within decentralized
systems. The authors explore two approaches to political
decentralization which add to the theoretical debate on NTA -
network governance, which focuses on new dynamics in policy
processes, and normative pluralism, which focuses on accommodating
the distinctness of the groups through the subsidiarity principle
with regard to their own affairs. The book explores the potential
ramifications of ethno-cultural NTA institutions acting within the
wider framework of state institutions and assesses the functions of
these institutions as another dimension of decentralization and
thus another 'layer' of democracy. With contemporary examples from
Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South Africa, as well as
theoretical aspects of the conceptualization of autonomy, this book
offers a truly global perspective. It will be of great interest to
policy-makers in countries experiencing adverse developments due to
the pressure on public management, as well as advanced students and
scholars questioning the ability of the Westphalian system to
address cultural diversity.
