Between community and diversity. A review of some recent approaches to the dilemmas of territorial governance

Abstract

This book review examines some recent contributions to the study of the political articulation of cultural diversity (Hooghe et al. 2019; Máiz 2018; Hooghe et al. 2017; Hooghe and Marks 2016; Hooghe et al. 2016). This text analyzes the role played by nations and political communities in these works, examines the politi-cal-institutional alternatives addressed by these authors (federalism, regional authority, multilevel governance, international organizations), and explores the main challenges and constraints faced by these governance models in contemporary democracies.
