Australia, Canada, and Ireland are all engaged in questions of
multiculturalism and in the politics of recognition and
reconciliation, the opportunities and pressures of geographic
regionalism, shifts in political agendas associated with the impact
of neo-liberalism, and moves to frame political agendas less at the
macro-level of state intervention and more at the level of
community partnership and empowerment. In related but distinct
ways, each state is being challenged to devise policies and offer
outcomes that address an unfolding and unsteady synthesis of issues
relating to citizenship, the role of nation-states in a
'borderless' world, and the management of economic change while
preserving an enabling sense of national identity and social
cohesion.
Analyzing issues ranging from urban planning and the provision
of broadcasting services for minority languages, to principled
debates over basic rights and entitlements, these essays offer
penetrating summaries of each political culture while also
prompting comparative reflection on the broad theme of "democracy
and difference."
