DELIBERATIVE MULTICULTURALISM IN BRITAIN - NAM-...

This book addresses the question of cultural pluralism and its implications for citizenship and
national identity in post-war Britain. The author examines the role of underlying public
philosophies reflected in laws  policies  and institutional arrangements. When a political
community faces challenges of diversity  people explore new principles of social formation 
that is  what kind of society they desire based on which methods of maintaining peace and
cooperation. In other words  citizens of a political community try to forge a new social
contract which is fair to social majorities as well as minorities. Such a contract includes
rights and obligations on three levels: the range of state intervention  acceptable
responsibility of society  and due liberty of the individual. This book explores Britain's
approach to responding to such challenges of diversity as devolution  European integration  and
multiculturalism have deepened. The author interprets Britain's principles under thename of
deliberative multiculturalism  which consists of rational dialogue and mutual respect with
firmly guaranteed political rights.
