Description
Summary:This article presents a comparison between three regional laws, namely the contents of Law 26/2007 for the protection of the "Slovene linguistic minority", Law 29/2007 for the protection of the "Friulian language" and Law 20/2009 for the protection of the "Germanspeaking minorities" adopted by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region in Italy. The analysis is based on the framework of diversity management theories and the related functions of minority legal protection and decentralization models. The author concludes that the system of minority protection in FVG is asymmetrical, as the regional legislation has a similar structure but is separate for each group. The differences regard also the protection of minority languages and their dialects as well as the legal sources and subjects. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
