Reihe: Studies in Territorial and Cultural Diversity Governance

This book explores constitutional asymmetries in divided multi-tiered systems as a dynamic constitutional model to accommodate ethnocultural diversity through a comparative analysis of 12 constitutional systems from both the Global North and the Global South. It offers a unique integrated analysis of asymmetries as designed by the constitutional orders and interpreted by courts.

The book contributes to the comparative constitutional scholarship on asymmetric federalism, providing for not only a qualitative but also a quantitative assessment of asymmetries. It combines traditional doctrinal and case-law analysis with emerging methodological approaches to legal research, such as empirical legal studies and decolonial comparative law.
