'...this study serves as a good introduction to autonomy for everyone interested in conflict resolution and minority rights, both from an academic as well as from a more practical point of view.'
Helsinki Monitor, 10:3 (1999)
'Autonomy: Applications and Implications is a rich volume that addresses many of the most important issues related to majority-minority political relations in the world today.[...] the high quality of the writing and the judicious selection of topics render this volume one of the most useful to have appeared in recent years. As both a repository of a great deal of factual information and an introduction to the major political and philosophical issues surrounding autonomy, this book deserves to be in libraries of all serious students and practitioners in the field of constitutional law, international law, and minority-majority-ethnic relations.'
International Journal on Minority and Group Rights, 7:3.
