Ethnic Minorities in the Modern Nation State

Working Papers in the Theory of Multiculturalism and Political Integration

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The author deals with the problem in political theory of how modern nation states must be structured in order to realise the two separate goals of equality of opportunity and the recognition of cultural diversity between groups. Subsequent chapters argue against a number of West European critics for a society of this type and the concept of multiculturalism is developed as it is applied in other contexts in Eastern Europe and North America.
