Addressing how democracies can deal with plurality, Democracy,
Nationalism and Multiculturalism looks at the political
accommodation of national plurality in liberal democracies and in
the European Union at the turn of the century. Democracy,
Nationalism and Multiculturalism provides an up to date review of
subnational and multicultural issues in Western multinational
states. The book includes normative, institutional and comparative
accounts of such key issues as: Politics and policies of
accommodation Multiculturalism Recognition of group rights
Federalist reforms and debates in Canada and European states The
political construction of the European Union The volume builds
bridges, and brings together, a number of debates that have often
taken place separately. Its panel of international authorities
examines this issue from a variety of perspectives, considering
questions of citizenship, multiculturalism, immigration and
equality. The contributors - many of whom have set the terms of
this debate in international political science - include Will
Kymlicka, and Wayne Norman.
Focusing on approaches to autonomy in countries whose societies are
marked by ethnic diversity, this study examines the effects of
territorial solutions to the safeguarding of cultural identities.
Studying the problem from a cross-national and analytical
perspective, the contributors distinguish among the types of
autonomy and their impact on pluralism, democracy and the unity of
the state. Post-Franco Spain, in the process of continuing
democritization, has become important as a laboratory of
institutional accomodation of ethnic and regional identities, and
the second section concentrates on that country's attempts to steer
a middle course between federalism and forms of decentralization.
The study contains case studies dealing with questions of
nationalism, autonomy and identity in Kosovo, India, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, British Columbia and Africa.
