The design of democratic institutions includes a variety of
barriers to protect against the tyranny of the majority, including
international human rights, cultural minority rights, and
multiculturalism. In the twenty-first century, majorities have
re-asserted themselves, sometimes reasonably, referring to social
cohesion and national identity, at other times in the form of
populist movements challenging core foundations of liberal
democracy. This volume intervenes in this debate by examining the
legitimacy of conflicting majority and minority claims. Are
majorities a legal concept, holding rights and subject to
limitations? How can we define a sense of nationhood that brings
groups together rather than tears them apart? In this volume,
world-leading experts are brought together for the first time to
debate the rights of both majorities and minorities. The outcome is
a fascinating exchange on one of the greatest challenges facing
liberal democracies today.
