Pluralism is among the most vital intellectual movements of the
modern era. Liberal pluralism helped reinforce and promote greater
separation of political and religious spheres. Socialist pluralism
promoted the political role of trade unions and the rise of
corporatism. Empirical pluralism helped legitimate the role of
interest groups in democratic government. Today pluralism inspires
thinking about key issues such as multiculturalism and network
governance. However, despite pluralism's importance, there are no
histories of twentieth-century pluralist thinking. Modern Pluralism
fills this gap. It explores liberal, socialist, and empirical ideas
about diversity in Britain and the United States. It shows how
pluralists challenged homogenous nations and sovereign states,
often promoting sub-national groups as potential sites of
self-government. In it, intellectual historians, political
theorists, and social scientists collectively explore the
historical background to present institutions and debates. The book
serves to enrich our understanding of the history of pluralism and
its continuing relevance.
