Is it possible, in a modern, pluralistic society, to promote common bonds of citizenship while accommodating ethnocultural diversity? This work examines points of conflict and convergence between concerns for citizenship and diversity in democracies, reassessing and refining existing theories.
Citizenship and diversity have been two major topics of debate over the last decade. But these two topics have been largely discussed in mutual isolation.
