Published on occasion of the 100 year anniversary of the Åland Islands’ autonomy, this book brings up and discusses a number of challenging issues, from constitutional and international law perspectives, concerning both the Åland situation and autonomy in general. Among the questions raised are:
Is autonomy part of international law and which international organisations may have jurisdiction?
Is autonomy a human right or is it about the prevention of violent conflicts?
Does the Åland Autonomy constitute a useful model for other minority groups? Do the Åland Islands stand to benefit from anything in international law, be it substantive or procedural?

“... little is known about this autonomy [of the Aland Islands] and therefore this edited book by seasoned experts like Gudmundur Alfredsson and Göran Lindholm fills a gap in a very competent and refreshing way.... On a whole, this reviewer found that this book not only contains a most valuable analysis of the Alands Islands autonomy system but it addresses also many issues of general importance for minority protection and autonomy rules. It can therefore be stated that this book is mandatory reading for anyone interested in minority and autonomy issues.”
