Defensive Federalism presents an original contribution to the field of federalism and multinational democracies, exploring the concept of defensive federalism as a protection of self- government against the "tyranny of the majority".The empirical evidence on federal and regional polities often shows critical imbalances in the territorial division of powers beyond what has been formally established in the constitutional rules. This volume highlights the rights, institutions, decision- making processes and procedural rules that can protect and develop the practical political, economic and cultural powers of federated and regional entities, especially those linked to territorial national minorities. The authors focus on federalism as a safeguard of self- rule, as well as a set of institutional and procedural rules to avoid the territorial dimension of the "tyranny of the majority". They answer two fundamental questions: how is it possible to design new stable and fairer federal agreements between national minorities and majorities where there is no single ideal solution? Is there a need for a new kind of "defensive federal model" for approaching national pluralism in liberal democracies?This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of federalism, national diversity and democracy, as well as policymakers and practitioners in both public and private institutions.Chapter 8 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com

This book explores governmental decision-making processes in democratic states where secessionist movements have proposed referendums on independence. Drawing on an original dataset that analyses 130 independence referendums held worldwide since 1945, it demonstrates that the decision of national governments to agree to an independence referendum largely depends on two factors: the proximity of elections to referendum demands, and the perceived expectation of secession.Over the last ten years, the citizens of Veneto, Scotland, Catalonia, Sint Eustatius, Puerto Rico, South Brazil, Bougainville and New Caledonia have been summoned to the polls to decide whether or not their territory should become an independent country. In some cases, central governments have agreed to consult citizens regarding a referendum, while in others, independence referendums have been forbidden. How can we explain this divergence? And what factors encourage policymakers to accept or reject an independence referendum?Addressing an important topic that has significantly shaped the political landscape in several countries for many years, the book will appeal to all those interested in political science, governance, and international relations, as well as policymakers.
