Liberal Pluralism: Does the West Have Any to Export?
Publisher: Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Volume: 13 pages, pdf Description: In this article, the author questions whether Will Kymlicka’s idea of liberal pluralism accurately characterizes minority policy in the West. Because of his reliance on a static principle of justice, it is argued, Kymlicka’s categorizations and some of his policy solutions, particularly autonomy, are too rigid. Instead, the author suggests that we can better achieve the goals of protecting minority identity through a more dynamic model that takes into consideration individual rights , changing notions of fairness, and legitimate political interests.
