Description: "The Politics of Belonging: Nationalism, Liberalism, and Pluralism represents the opening of a dialogue between social scientists and moral and political philosophers. It also bridges the North Atlantic, opening a discussion between Europeans and North Americans who study nationalism. Contributors to this collection deal with two main issues: the linkage between political liberalism and nationalism and the challenge of pluralism. Alain Dieckhoff has brought together a group of scholars who together carry out an incisive investigation into these debates, which are crucial to fostering democracy in modern nation-states. This volume is an indispensable resource for anyone dealing with questions of identity, ethnicity, and nationalism."--BOOK JACKET.
