The Claims of Culture – Equality and Diversity in the Global Era
Autor Seyla Benhabiben Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2002
Drawing on contemporary cultural politics from Western Europe, Canada, and the United States, Benhabib develops a double-track model of deliberative democracy that permits maximum cultural contestation within the official public sphere as well as in and through social movements and the institutions of civil society. Agreeing with political liberals that constitutional and legal universalism should be preserved at the level of polity, she nonetheless contends that such a model is necessary to resolve multicultural conflicts. Analyzing in detail the transformation of citizenship practices in European Union countries, Benhabib concludes that flexible citizenship, certain kinds of legal pluralism and models of institutional powersharing are quite compatible with deliberative democracy, as long as they are in accord with egalitarian reciprocity, voluntary self-ascription, and freedom of exit and association. The Claims of Culture offers invaluable insight to all those, whether students or scholars, lawyers or policymakers, who strive to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of cultural politics in the twenty-first century.

Descriere
Maintaining that cultures are themselves torn by conflicts about their own boundaries, this book challenges the assumption shared by many theorists and activists that cultures are clearly defined wholes. It offers insight to those who strive to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of cultural politics in the twenty-first century.
