Breda on "Constitutional Law and Regionalism"

Next month, Elgar Publishing is set to release USQ Senior Lecturer Vito Breda's new book Constitutional Law and Regionalism: A Comparative Analysis of Regionalist Negotiations.  Here is the abstract:

This topical book analyses the practice of negotiating constitutional demands by regional and dispersed national minorities in eight multinational systems. It considers the practices of cooperation and litigation between minority groups and central institutions in Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, and the U.S. and includes an evaluation of the implications of the recent Catalan, Puerto Rican and Scottish referenda. Ultimately, the author shows that a flexible constitution combined with a versatile constitutional jurisprudence tends to foster institutional cooperation and the recognition of the pluralistic nature of modern states.
