ABSTRACT
The conclusions are devoted to weaving together the threads of this study and highlighting its main achievements. The first aim of this work was to illustrate the vitality of law regarding the management of diversity, both in terms of constitutional approaches and legal instruments put in place in different areas of the world. Such vitality has revealed that the accommodation of diversity is a multifaceted legal phenomenon, of which the mainstream practical and theoretical perspective is just one – though doubtlessly significant – dimension. In parallel to the most consolidated tools, the book has also emphasized the existence and theoretical significance of constitutional approaches and legal instruments that complement them within and outside the liberal-constitutional tradition. The resulting complexity requires systematization and a theoretical appraisal based on the relativization of the consolidated mainstream standpoint. Without this, several legal phenomena here analyzed would be overlooked. This is the main reason that underlies the theoretical innovations of the book, i.e., the introduction of the concept “Law of Diversity” and the analytical (or meta-theoretical) employment of federalism.
