Multiculturalism is higher on the daily political agenda than it
has ever been. Leading politicians and public commentators speak
with an unparalleled bluntness about the perceived limitations of
multiculturalism while representatives of cultural, minorities
express concern about marginalisation. This debate is taking place
against a background of fear about terrorism, the integrity of
national identities and a loosely construed 'clash of
civilizations'. Secularism is pitted against religious
fundamentalism, respect for difference against the right of freedom
of speech, integration against self-determination, and duties of
citizenship against minority rights. This book confronts the
reality of moral conflict in the debate on multiculturalism while
resisting the simplification which too frequently accompanies daily
commentary on both sides of an increasingly polarised debate. The
volume as a whole marks an important step in the attempt to examine
the underlying concepts, of the nature and legitimate extent of
disagreement, of secularism, the nature of power, the state and
citizenship, which inevitably constitute key assumptions in the
debate. Bringing together leading scholars on multiculturalism:
Gerald Gaus, Peter Jones, John Horton, Tariq Modood, Chandran
Kukathas, Bhikhu Parekh, Matthew Festenstein and Cecile Laborde,
this book discusses the latest developments in the field. It will
be of strong interest students and scholars of multiculturalism,
political science, political theory, international relations,
sociology, philosophy and anthropology.

Military occupation is a recurrent feature of modern international
politics and yet has received little attention from political
scientists. This book, newly available in paperback, sets out to
remedy this neglect, offering: *an account of military occupation
as a form of government *an assessment of key trends in the
development of military occupations over the last two centuries *an
explanation the conceptual and practical difficulties encountered
by occupiers *examples drawn from, amongst others, the First and
Second World Wars, US occupations in Latin America and Japan, the
Israeli occupation of the West Bank, and the current occupation of
Iraq. After a survey of the evolving practice and meaning of
military occupation the book deals with its contested definitions,
challenging restrictive approaches that disguise the true extent of
the incidence of military occupation. Subsequent chapters explain
the diverse forms that military government within occupation
regimes take on and the role of civilian governors and agencies
within occupation regimes; the significance of military occupation
for our understanding of political obligation; the concept of
sovereignty; the nature and meaning of justice; and our evaluation
of regime transformation under conditions of military occupation.
