It addresses issues from the right to vote, the right to exclude others to the legitimacy of territorial boundaries and the exploitation of natural resources.

Using official statistics, this book explores how the SNP managed to confound expectations and win a parliamentary majority in the 2011 Scottish General Election. Perhaps surprisingly, it was not constitutional politics or the return of the Conservatives to power in Westminster but domestic issues that decided the vote in the SNP's favour.

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.

How have regionalization processes across Europe impacted on policy convergence? This book takes as its starting point the curious fact that autonomous regional policymaking may be parallel to regional governments pursuing policy similarity. The author proposes that these observations are paradoxical only if sector-specific policy norms are disregarded and when autonomy is considered as the exclusive goal of regional governments. Focusing on common yet under-studied regional situations where a sense of cultural or historical distinctiveness is not readily apparent, if at all, the book argues that in policy sectors where norms of territorial equality have long been dominant, regional governments endorse them as a way to secure or expand their policy capacity when the central state or other policy entrepreneurs challenge it. This results in converging policies. A textured comparative account of educational policymaking in German Länder and French conseils régionaux overthree decades forms the backbone of this analysis of policymaking in ordinary regions.

Waves of Sub-State Autonomy in Western Europe
Territorial Mobilisation and Restructuring in Belgium, Spain and the United Kingdom

In response to the puzzling variety of types and degrees of sub-state autonomy that are demanded within sub-state entities and that are granted by states all around the world, this book provides a systematic comparison of the conditions under which sub-state autonomy has been demanded and under which it has been granted in three typical countries undergoing centrifugal sociological decentralization: Belgium, Spain and the United Kingdom. To do so, the book draws on an analytical framework that studies the evolution sub-state autonomy demands and statutes jointly, that assesses sub-state autonomy in kind, in degree and by competences, that relates the evolutions to factors from the five main theoretical strands of the field, and that does so based on original data collected in 31 sub-state communities within the three countries between 1801 and 2020. The findings of the analyses are illustrated through the metaphor of ‘waves’ of sub-state autonomy and articulated around a dual constellational theory of centrifugal sociological decentralisation. It is constellational in that it explains sub-state mobilisation and restructuring as driven by the interplay of factors from different theoretical strands. It is dual in that it shows sub-state autonomy dynamics to unfold differently in two main types of entities: sub-state communities with strong sociological distinctiveness and historical political grievances (e.g. Flanders, Catalonia or Scotland), and sub-state communities with weaker sociological distinctiveness and historical political grievances (e.g. Wallonia, Asturias or Cornwall).
