Nationalism, Multiculturalism and Citizenship
Book • 2001
This volume brings together eighteen of Will Kymlicka's recent essays on nationalism, multiculturalism, and citizenship.
The essays expand on the well-known theory of minority rights first developed in his book *Multicultural Citizenship*.
Kymlicka applies his theory to several pressing controversies regarding ethnic relations, responds to some of his critics, and situates the debate over minority rights within the larger context of issues of nationalism, democratic citizenship, and globalization.
The book explores the requirements of ethnocultural justice in a liberal democracy, the need for power-sharing and distinctive rights for indigenous peoples, and the challenges of ethnocultural diversity to democratic citizenship.
