Sažetak
The main purpose of the paper is to ask when are Non-Territorial Autonomy Arrangements (NTAAs) a morally appropriate/permissible/warranted response by states to various minority claims, given possible alternatives. As such, it is not about the relationships between minorities and majorities, but between minorities and the state. The two main questions are: (1) What are the criteria of moral appropriateness? (methodology) ; (2) When are any of the alternatives morally appropriate? (a typology based on the above-mentioned methodological criteria) Methodologically speaking, it makes sense to start form the most difficult of the alternatives to justify - secession - because it represents the most extreme possible claim of a minority towards a state (or even against a state). Once such a criterion or set of criteria is established, the criteria for other alternatives can only be reasonably lower, and the criteria for secession will be indicative of what the these lower criteria could be. For each of the alternatives, the paper will establish a paradigmatic case, which can be historical, but can also be the result of a thought experiment, or a result of both, allowing for a casuistic approach.
