The Multilevel Politics of Accommodation and the Non-Constitutional Moment: Lessons from Corsica

  • Chapter
Constitutionalism and the Politics of Accommodation in Multinational Democracies

Part of the book series: St Antony’s Series ((STANTS))

Abstract

The politics of accommodation in multinational democracies has been studied mainly through a limited number of cases. Research has tended to focus on states with strong cultural and/or religious heterogeneity, and on territorialized minority groups.1 When we consider nationalist movements within Western democracies, the spectrum is even smaller. Most studies deal with Canada, Spain, Belgium and the United Kingdom, even though many other states have strong movements.2
