Liberalism And The 'Politics Of Difference'
This book offers an integrated overview of the themes and discourses of feminism and multiculturalism which inform the 'politics of difference'; an area of burgeoning interest in contemporary political theory. Andrea Baumeister introduces the challenge posed by the proponents of diversity to liberalist theorists such as Rawls, Raz and Kymlicka, and outlines their responses to this challenge. While other texts cover either feminism or multicultura…

The Use of “Public Reason” by Religious and Secular Citizens: Limitations of Habermas’ Conception of the Role of Religion in the Public Realm
While Habermas’ careful delineation of the implications of a commitment to freedom of religion for both secular and religious citizens gives rise to a much more nuanced account of the role of religion in both the formal and informal public realm, the paper argues that Habermas does not resolve the uncomfortable tension in his approach between his continued commitment to strict political secularism and his picture of a postsecular society characte…
Gender, culture and the politics of identity in the public realm
Although recent debates surrounding the relationship between commitments to gender equality and cultural justice have given a renewed impetus to feminist critiques of liberal conceptions of the public realm, prominent interventions by Martha Nussbaum and Monique Deveaux have continued to affirm one of two long-standing, yet controversial, feminist strategies for reconceptualising the public realm. While Nussbaum’s expansive notion of the public r…

Diversity and Unity: The Problem with `Constitutional Patriotism
Although Habermas's sophisticated conception of constitutional patriotism successfully avoids the charge of trying to ground patriotism in a set of principles that is too thin and abstract to sustain a real sense of solidarity and belonging, his optimism regarding the prospect in modern pluralist societies of building a genuinely shared political culture is misplaced. The march of modernization as rationalization is neither as relentless nor as i…
Gender Equality and Cultural Justice: The Limits of ‘Transformative Accommodation’
Although Shachar’s model of joint governance is well placed to address many of the tensions between gender equality and cultural justice in the family and personal law arena, she is mistaken to assume that the principles of ‘transformative accommodation’ can be applied equally well to questions of criminal justice and disputes regarding the education and upbringing of the young. While a system of joint governance may well be one of the most effec…

Habermas: Discourse and Cultural Diversity
Habermas's vision of discourse ethics can be reconciled with many of the concerns of proponents of diversity whose demands for recognition are rooted in liberal values. However, his account underestimates the challenge that diversity poses to collective identity and the fundamental nature of value conflict. If discursive approaches to justice are to accommodate such claims, they must abandon the Habermasian search for consensus in favour of a vis…
Ways of Belonging: Ethnonational Minorities and Models of `Differentiated Citizenship
Recent campaigns for recognition by ethnic religious and national minorities have highlighted the limitations of the dominant unitary conception of the nation state. While the model of `differentiated citizenship' advocated by Taylor and Carens constitutes an innovative response to these challenges, the difficulties that surround this model underline the dilemma that confronts many modern states. Although a commitment to equal citizenship implies…
Cultural Diversity and Education: The Dilemma of Political Stability
In their recent work both John Rawls and Joseph Raz have shown a keen awareness of the need to address the challenges associated with the cultural diversity so characteristic of many liberal democracies. However, a number of the issues raised by non-liberal minorities in Britain in relation to educational policy suggest that these prominent liberal responses ultimately fail to address the complexities of the problems posed by cultural pluralism. …
Two liberalisms and the ‘politics of difference
For many of the recent advocates of cultural pluralism and the ‘politics of difference’ the vision of human excellence at the heart of liberal ideology is deeply flawed, since it fails to acknowledge the significance and pervasiveness of particularity and diversity. However, while this criticism may well be applicable to the strand of liberal thought rooted in the Enlightenment commitment to ‘universal reason’, the idea of ‘diversity’ has played …
