Shaped by historical legacies, diverse identities and the ongoing process of European integration, territorial governance continues to test the resilience of constitutional systems.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume explores these dynamics through a comparative constitutional perspective, combining theoretical insights with a rich set of case studies. It originates from the Sapienza University Research Project “Territory, Borders and Institutions: Between Secession and Centrifugal Dynamics”, initiated by Professor Beniamino Caravita, whose vision has inspired the research underlying this work.\u003cbr\u003eAt its core, the book examines the tension between territorial asymmetries and secession. Mechanisms such as regionalism, differentiated autonomy and federalism can accommodate diversity within a single constitutional framework, as seen in countries like Spain, Italy and Belgium. Yet these same arrangements may also generate political tensions and perceptions of inequality. Secessionist movements represent a more radical challenge, raising fundamental questions about the balance between self-determination and territorial integrity, as illustrated by developments in Scotland, Catalonia and Flanders.\u003cbr\u003eBringing together theoretical analysis and comparative case studies from across Europe, the volume highlights how territorial claims shape constitutional change at both national and supranational levels.\u003cbr\u003eA timely and insightful contribution, this book offers essential perspectives for understanding the evolving landscape of territorial governance in Europe. This is an open access book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-11-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032296023\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50300878979212,"sku":"9783032296023","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032296023.jpg?v=1779974537","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032296023","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
