Navigating the Unknown: Essays on Selected Case Studies about the Rights of Minorities: Studies in Territorial and Cultural Diversity Governance, cartea 15

Autor Bertus de Villiers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2022
In this book, Bertus de Villiers offers unique insights into institutional design aimed at the protection of minority rights. He reflects on several case studies to highlight various aspects of the complexity of contemporary constitution drafting and how creative solutions have been found to secure the rights of minorities. The respective chapters drill down to a practical level to assist constitutional scholars, legal scientists, the judiciary and practitioners to better comprehend the dynamics of minority rights in the country under discussion; to be informed by the jurisprudence that have arisen; and to gain insights from the adjustments that had to be made to more effectively protect the rights of minorities.
