they belong. Do communities have rights, indeed even an existence,
which are not merely the hypostasis of the individual rights and
existences collected in them? This conflict is then more striking
as it was a conscious decision of the or ganizers of the workshop
to focus attention on what might broadly be called liberal
democracies: those societies which share a commitment to the princi
ples of democratic participation, to the right of equal concern and
respect of all members of the community, and to the basic liberties
of association, ex pression, and thought. Ours was not the smug
premise, however, that every so ciety which proclaims these
principles is sufficiently or even truly devoted to them. But we
did assume that we would have enough to do if we explored the
implications of these widely shared ideals for the topic of
linguistic, ethnic, and national minorities as these problems arise
in societies where an appeal to them is not an empty gesture. The
nations from which our participants were drawn are societies in
which appeal to these principles has some point. They are all
societies in which the efforts of politicians and the intelligence
of schol ars need not be devoted exclusively to the tactical issues
of winning some mod icum of respect for basic human rights from
unwilling regimes. And yet all these societies have experienced
significant difficulty in determining what the concrete meaning in
actual situations of these general principles might be."
