| Abstract
|
:
|
"Most foundational works in political philosophy have made fundamentally false and far-reaching assumptions concerning the culturally homogeneous character of the polity. Deliberative Democracy, Political Legitimacy, and Self-Determination in Multicultural Societies provides a much-needed corrective to conventional accounts of the normative foundations of the state by reconceptualizing some of the fundamental issues in political theory form a perspective that recognizes the culturally pluralistic character of contemporary democracies.

|
Among the issues considered are democratic deliberation in multicultural societies, the justification and function of political communities, the nature of self-determination, the justification of cultural rights, and the moral rationale for regional self-governance and secession. This work is suitable for graduate and upper-division undergraduate courses in political philosophy and political science, as well as the lay reader interested in understanding the major sources of conflict and instability in democratic societies."--Jacket.
