The Theory of Recognition and Multicultural Policies in Colombia and New Zealand
Troubled Waters in New Zealand
Blessed with an extraordinary abundance of freshwater, New Zealand faces complex governance challenges of simultaneously protecting public health, powering the country, bolstering its economy, and honoring obligations to its Indigenous population—all which are water-dependent. In this article, we discuss New Zealand’s water quality challenges, water governance structure, and analyzed the framing of its water issues and polices by the country’s tw…

Recognition and Deliberation: A Deliberative Corrective to Liberal Multicultural Policies
This article establishes theoretical and practical distinctions between the theory of recognition and liberal multiculturalism. Five potential issues with multicultural policies are identified. The article argues that an increase in deliberative practices could solve many pitfalls of liberal multicultural policies and highlights how a “deliberative turn” could reconcile identity-related policies with the philosophical roots of the theory of recog…
Sectarianism and Recognition in Iraq: From Consociationalism to Deliberation
This article uses the theory of recognition to analyze sectarian conflicts in Iraq. After describing the sectarian and historical background of contemporary Iraqi politics, the article critiques the implementation of consociationalism and policies influenced by liberal multiculturalism in deeply divided societies. It argues that these policies lead to a dangerous reification of identities. The article argues that a progressive implementation of d…
The deliberative deficit of prior consultation mechanisms
This article discusses the right to prior consultation guaranteed to indigenous people by international documents such as Convention 169 of the International Labour Organisation and the United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous people. Using New Zealand and Colombia as case studies, the article argues that this right currently offers very little tangible benefits to indigenous people and is usually reduced to a legal bureaucratic req…
Islam and political liberalism: A Shi’ite approach to the overlapping consensus
Debates over the (in)compatibility between Islam and democratic liberal norms of social cooperation inform many contemporary political and academic discourses. Most of the current research on the topic focuses on Sunni Islam. In this article, I focus on Shia Islam and use a Rawlsian theoretical framework to argue in favour of the compatibility between Shia Islam and liberal citizenship. I argue that authoritative primary and secondary Shia source…
Reason, Deliberation, and Democracy in Divided Societies: Perspectives from the Jafari School of Thought
In this article I argue that because of its emphasis on the use of reason, the Jafari Islamic school of thought is not only compatible with, but even promotes certain forms of deliberative democracy. I particularly focus on how this characteristic offers a valuable conceptual tool to promote peace and justice in deeply divided societies. My argument is grounded in traditional Shia theology and history but develops a political framework embedded w…
Identity Between Police and Politics: Rancière’s Political Theory and the Dilemma of Indigenous Politics
This article argues that Rancière’s paradoxical account of identity formation through political conflicts can highlight dilemmas facing indigenous political movements across the globe. The article first locates Rancière’s theory within the broader political theory of recognition and briefly describes some of Rancière’s key political concepts (politics; police; demos; ethnos). The article then moves on to a description of several indigenous politi…
