Table of ContentsReviewsAs embodiments of a shared political community, constitutions specify the rules of the game and the boundaries for legal political action. But what happens when some groups feel they do not fully belong in said community? How can constitutions accommodate minorities - and can they provide mechanisms for an amicable divorce? These issues have been at the forefront of politics in countries like Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Constitutional Politics in Multinational Democracies brings together the foremost experts in the field and provides answers to these pressing questions. Highly recommended! Matt Qvortrup, Coventry University Constitutional Politics in Multinational Democracies is a valuable book that considers the dynamics of these countries at a critical juncture. The book helps us better understand the friction between legality (formal structure) and legitimacy (political practice) and the extent to which party politics and social pressures push formal structures into adjustment.
