Features: This book is the crystallization of the research project titled "European Institutional Models as Conflict Resolution Tools in Peripherally Separated States: A Comparative Study." The research was supported by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office within the framework of the project "Horizontal Action: Actions: Belgian Public Institutions and Decision-Making in a Globalized Society." We are deeply grateful to the project coordinators and staff, Bogdan Vandoninck, Lieve Van Daele, AZiz Naji, Margarida Freire, and Vrielinck, for their support. The scholars participating in this research primarily came from two academic institutions: the Department of Political Science at the Free University of Brussels (Bruno Coppieters, Michel Heis, and Tamara Kuznetz) and the European Policy Research Centre based in Brussels (Michael Emerson, Gagana Nuchecheva, Natalie Touki, and Marius Val). The English edition of this book is published by Ghent Academic Publishers, and the European Journal of Ethnic Relations is responsible for the publication of the English electronic edition. Additionally, the book has been published in Dutch, Russian, and Chinese. The three-year project jointly carried out by Renmin University of China, Durham University in the UK, and the Free University of Brussels, titled "Asian Studies in Europe and China," significantly contributed to the publication of the Chinese edition of this book. This project was funded by the European Union's "AsiaLink" program. The aim of the project is to deepen contemporary Asian studies in Europe and China.
