Review Quotes:
'"A Global Law of Diversity" marks a milestone in the studies on territorial and cultural pluralism. It provides a methodological framework to analyse and further develop the instruments to cope with growing complexity in contemporary societies.'
Prof. Francesco Palermo, University of Verona and Eurac Research Bolzano/Bozen
'In "A Global Law of Diversity", Alessi breaks new grounds for the study of diversity accommodation in a perspective of constitutionalism. Drawing on global sources of law-making and by boldly infusing non-codified models, he presents a new conceptual framework. Anyone ready to question the status quo of legal theory will find this ground-breaking volume rewarding.'
Prof. Tove H. Malloy, Europa-Universität Flensburg
'This excellent work of comparative legal research integrates the equality paradigm with a comprehensive "Law of diversity" to overcome the State-bias in majority-minority relations. "A Global Law of Diversity" is a valuable contribution to the exploration of the constitutional foundations of truly inclusive societies. Necessary, because in countertendency to the current political trends in many countries.'
Prof. Jens Woelk, University of Trento
