IMMIGRATION AND SELF-GOVERNMENT OF MINORITY NAT...

During the last two decades  the debate on multiculturalism has been one-dimensional. It has
deployed arguments related to cultural demands linked either to feminism  immigration  or
national minorities. Little attention has been given to the relations between these dimensions
and how they affect each other. The purpose of this book is to set a research agenda around the
interaction between cultural demands of immigrants and minority nations. The primary aim is to
establish basic normative arguments while advancing an institutional analysis in three
contexts: Quebec  Flanders and Catalonia. Each part contains two chapters that address the
topic in terms of how immigration is seen from a self-government perspective  or how
self-government is interpreted from an immigration perspective. The different chapters raise
questions related to how this interaction challenges the idea of a culturally homogeneous
nation-state  and also pushes us to other conceptualisations of «politicalcommunity» and
de-nationalised forms of citizenship. Current debates on diversity have failed to address these
issues in societies where a dual belonging exists.
