The Canadian Contribution to a Comparative Law of Secession

Zusatztext

<div>This edited collection gathers together Canadian and non-Canadian scholars to reflect on and celebrate the 20th</div><div>anniversary of the Quebec Secession Reference, delivered by the Canadian Supreme Court in 1998. It opens with</div><div>two Canadian scholars exchanging thoughts on the legacy of the reference from a domestic perspective as one of</div><div>the most questioned decisions of the Canadian Supreme Court. To follow, non-Canadian scholars discuss the</div><div>impact of this reference abroad, reflecting upon its influence in European and non-European contexts (Spain,</div><div>Scotland, the EU after Brexit, Eastern European Countries, Ethiopia, and Asia). Two final chapters, one by a lawyer</div><div>and one by a political scientist, explore the democratic theory behind that reference.</div>
