Talk:Corporative federalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are there references to this type of governance in the Austro-Hungarian states? Wekins

I'd be interested in knowing any exact reference in their governmental law also. Right now, besides repetitions of this very article, google finds only brief mentionings of this concept in association to the Austro-Hungarian governance, such as here. Nagelfar 19:27, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

In the event that the above link ever goes down, here is the content of that page in regard to the question:

"The personality principle consists in giving to each citizen certain services in his/her language independently from the place in which he/she lives. The territoriality principle consists, instead, in using in a certain territory one or more languages for all the citizens living there whatever languages they use."

"The most interesting example of the personality principle, is the "corporative federalism" adopted by the Austro-Hungarian Empire: this policy consisted in dividing the country not only in administrative territorial units, but also in ethnic units on a voluntary basis, in which each citizen could register wherever he or she was living."
