In his seminal essay 'Staat und Nation' ('State and Nation') Karl
Renner presents his model for national-cultural autonomy, with a
two-tier system of government that devolves considerable
non-territorial autonomy to national communities, while sustaining
the administrative unity of the Multination State. This new book
delivers the first English translation of 'State and Nation' and
brings together a collection of distinguished and leading political
scientists to provide a detailed and critical assessment of
Renner's theory of national-cultural autonomy. From a variety of
perspectives, the contributors discuss the contemporary validity of
Renner's arguments paying particular attention to theories of
state, liberal democracies, minority nationalism and
multiculturalism, and models of regional integration. Making an
important contribution to the literature on nationalism and
national minorities, this volume is a vital research tool for
students and scholars of nationalism and political theory. Readers
of this volume may also be interested in the forthcoming companion
volume by Ephraim Nimni, Multicultural Nationalism

This book examines modalities for the recognition and political
participation of minorities in plurinational states in theory and
in practice, with a specific reference to the Republic of Turkey
and the resolution of the Kurdish question. Drawing on the
experience of Spain and Eastern Europe and other recent novel
models for minority accommodation, including the Ottoman experience
of minority autonomy (the Millet System), the volume brings
together researchers from Turkey and Europe more broadly to develop
an ongoing dialogue that analytically examines various models for
national minority accommodation. These models promise to protect
the state's integrity and provide governmental mechanisms that
satisfy demands for collective representation of national
communities in the framework of a plurinational state.

This book explores and evaluates non-territorial autonomy (NTA), an
important modality of ethnic and religious diversity management.
Whereas multicultural liberal democracies sincerely champion
equality and individual human rights, they often have considerable
difficulty in accommodating culturally diverse minority
communities. In most cases, minority communities do not reside
within a compact space, making any territorial representation
impossible. This brings into focus modalities of NTA as a possible
alternative approach. NTA takes a variety of different forms, such
as consociationalism or national cultural autonomy, and also
encompasses other forms of representation, such as frameworks for
accommodating indigenous peoples, juridical autonomy extended to
religious communities, or elements of some models of
multiculturalism. Using both theoretical and empirical approaches,
and also including the work of legal practitioners, the essays
within this volume examine the challenges and possible solutions
offered by different NTA models for the effective participation of
minorities in public life, addressing issues such as the limits
and/or possibilities of implementing NTA models in liberal
democracies, the extent to which NTA approaches can serve the goals
of European integration and the European minority protection
framework, and the possible role of NTA in resolving protracted
territorial conflicts.
The debate within Israel on the country's future and
characteristics, known as Post-Zionism, challenges fundamental
myths surrounding the early history and contemporary identity of
the Israeli State. The argument is voiced by individuals and groups
with different political agendas, and drawn from the Israeli media,
intellectual circles and academia. It seeks to downplay the
influence of Judaism in the definition of the state, and to move
towards the idea that Israel should become a secular state of all
its citizens. This argument has profound implications for the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for Israeli politics. The
contributors to this volume present the debate, examine
Post-Zionism's meanings and prospects, place it in its political
context, and explore its implications for out groups, including
Palestinians, Israeli women and Jewish people outside Israel.
