This book provides a new, comprehensive analytical framework for
the examination of majority-minority relations in deeply divided
societies. Hegemonic states in which one ethnic group completely
dominates all others will continue to face enormous pressures to
transform because they are out of step with the new, emerging,
global governing code that emphasizes democracy and equal rights.
Refusal to change would lead such states to lose international
legitimacy and face increasing civil strife, instability, and
violence. Through systematic theoretical analysis and careful
empirical study of 14 key cases, Peleg examines the options open to
polities with diverse populations. Challenging the conventional
wisdom of many liberal democrats, Peleg maintains that the
preferred solution for a traditional hegemonic polity is not merely
to grant equal rights to individuals, but also to incorporate
significant group rights via mega-constitutional transformation.
