Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book identifies two key themes: (i) that contemporary global politics has rendered many of the worlds democracies susceptible to the rhetoric and policy of majoritarianism; and (ii) that majoritarianism plays on popular anxieties that invariably gravitate towards cultural identity and multiculturalism. |
