This study analyses non-territorial autonomy as a practical category in the conditions of administrative decentralisation. The aim is to elucidate the way in which a decentralised administrative system creates the premises and a favourable context for the development of entities with responsibilities in the ethno-cultural field. The paper argues first that Romania’s decentralisation model allows the development of the practices associated with non-territorial autonomy. Organisations of national minorities are the best-defined element in this regard. Second, it argues that both decentralisation and non-territorial autonomy are effective, all other factors and variables being equal. The factors and variables which influence the decentralisation and non-territorial autonomy are: ethnic activism, the typology of responsibilities assumed by entities with ethno-cultural responsibilities and administrative responses to issues related to the protection of national minorities. We conclude that under the conditions of decentralisation, minority groups benefit from support for the development and maintenance of cultural particularities, while non-territorial autonomy creates a favourable framework for empowering minority groups to self-administer. Decentralisation reinforces and legitimises non-territorial autonomy processes when carried out correctly and responsibly. |
