Abstract
AbstractGiven the, often, abstract conceptual understanding of NTA, the aim of this chapter is not to provide an analysis of the ideal type(s) of cultural autonomy arrangements in minority group contexts. Instead, it purports to evaluate the design, implementation and evolution of such arrangements between states and minority groups as applied in specific areas of minority culture. Following a first brief section that describes the main features of cultural autonomy (see also Chapter8), the chapter will focus on two important identity markers of minority groups to show how these have formed the basis for a number of NTA arrangements. These are language and religion which are at the heart of the protection of minority identities. Through the lens of these two important identity-markers, the chapter will adopt a double objective: first, to outline the variety of cultural NTA arrangements and their limitations from a diversity governance perspective on the basis of language and religion and second, to highlight the link between cultural forms of NTA and minority agency.
