Questions concerning whether and how cultural groups should be recognised in politics are among the most salient and vexing on the political agenda of many democratic and democratising societies today. (Gutmann, 1994: 5) This chapter examines the interplay between the concepts of ethnicity and nation with those of citizenship and ‘cultural difference’ within contemporary political theory. Despite the epistemological and ontological variance manifest in the work of the proponents of liberalism, communitarianism, critical theory and postmodernism, we nonetheless witness an increasingly ubiquitous shared concern to ‘recognise group difference’ — to respond politically to the fact of cultural diversity and positively structure a pluralistic celebration of group difference into models of democratic citizenship.
