The book with 40 answers for an independent future of South Tyrol

An independent state of South Tyrol

Illusion or possible scenario? 

More than a hundred years after the annexation by the Italian state, this book examines the idea of an independent state of South Tyrol in detail, for the very first time. A team of scientists, professors, bloggers, authors and other experts - with different attitudes towards independence - has been working intensively on this topic for years. They received professional support from  South Tyrolean as well as global experts. The work was additionally accompanied by an advisory board.

The research results are published in this book. Possible steps to build a new state are explained clearly, simply and concisely. The opportunities, risks, conditions and various strategies are presented in detail. This book offers a comprehensive fact check on which further discussions can and should be based on.

It is suitable for detailed reading and, thanks to the clear structure, also for looking up individual subject areas.
