Through comprehensive historical, contemporary, and critical accounts, they argue that the country has been the object of an aggressive nationalizing project that contravenes the principles of a 'multinational federation.'

La construction de democraties de plus en plus complexes en termes nationaux et culturels constitue un des defis majeurs que doivent relever les democraties liberales.

Tiraillees entre des imperatifs de stabilite et de justice, les nations majoritaires et minoritaires misent sur des modeles de pluralisme national concurrents. La Catalogne et le Quebec sont a cet egard des exemples paradigmatiques. Le present ouvrage explore les parcours historiques...
