| Summary: |
This article examines the topic of multi-national democracies and their possible
political adaptation via federal models. The analysis has two main centres
of focus. First, it discusses some of the elements of the theoretical dialogue
on legislation in liberal democracies on such topics as national and cultural
pluralism. Secondly, it carries out a comparative analysis of the federations
and of some regional states in the context of their uni-national and multi-national
character, their degree of federalism, their degree of decentralisation
and the regulation of legal asymmetries or lack thereof. The article concludes
by pointing out the possibilities and limits of federal models in multinational
backdrops, advocating instead the model characterised as ¿multi-national
federalism¿ based on three normative conditions: explicit political and
constitutional recognition of national pluralism of the federation, a high degree
of self-governance in five areas of application on behalf of national minorities,
and the establishment of mechanisms for participation and conditions.
All of these call for the institutional regulation of both the positive
and negative collective freedoms that allow legitimate and stable political
and constitutional accommodation in the multi-national democracies. |
