Gagnon has been one of the world’s leading experts on federalism and multinational democracies. In \u003cem\u003eMinority Nations in the Age of Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e, he presents an articulate and accessible introduction to the ways in which minority nations have begun to empower themselves in a global environment that is increasingly hostile to national minorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComparing conditions in Quebec, Catalonia, and Scotland, Gagnon offers six interrelated essays on national minorities, processes of accommodation, and autonomy and self-determination within a modern democratic context. Based on a long career of scholarly study and public engagement, he argues that self-determination for these “nations without states” is best achieved through intercultural engagement and negotiation within the federal system, rather than through independence movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlready translated into fifteen languages from the original French, \u003cem\u003eMinority Nations in the Age of Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential text on the theory of multinational federalism and the politics of minority nations.This edition also features a foreword by noted political scientist and philosopher James Tully that discusses the significance of Gagnon's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Alain-G.
