Constitutional Crises and Regionalism by Vito Breda.

The article "Constitutional Crises and Regionalism" by Vito Breda explores the challenges faced by states in managing majority-minority relations in diverse societies. Breda analyzes nine cases from different continents, examining the constitutional and legal frameworks of state and sub-state territories. The book emphasizes the importance of identity in influencing relations between minority and majority communities and highlights the clash of perceptions regarding the legitimacy of public institutions. The author uses a methodology called "future studies" to identify factors that could affect the future development of constitutional systems. The book provides detailed contextual analysis of each case, focusing on the drivers of change and the conflicts between minority and majority groups. It also discusses the role of hybrid institutions and the importance of inclusive environments in managing constitutional crises. While the book lacks a detailed discussion of the methodology and comparative insights between cases, it offers valuable insights into constitutional crises and regionalism. It is recommended for those interested in comparative law, conflict resolution, nationalism, minority politics, and territorial politics. [Extracted from the article]
