Course Objectives | Multiculturalism is one of the normative models of ‘living together’ in diverse societies. As one of the most debated political concepts of the post-Cold War era, multiculturalism has been theorized by scholars mainly for two purposes. Firstly, it establishes a critique of liberal theory of ‘impartial’ state by addressing the problems of ‘justice’ based on individualism. Among many, one significant problem is that it fails to account for the rights of minority groups. Secondly, rejecting state policies of assimilation and moving beyond policies of integration, theories of multiculturalism aim to build alternative, arguably better, idea of a ‘just society’. In this normative theory, states must sufficiently respond to the demands of inclusion and exclusion from cultural minorities and immigrants, recognize cultural difference, and consider not only individual but also group rights and needs. |

Course Description | We are going to spend the first part of the course on the general context within which debates on multiculturalism were born. In the second part, we will discuss different approaches to multiculturalism developed by major thinkers, such as Will Kymlicka, Charles Taylor, and Jürgen Habermas. In the third part, we will turn our attention towards debates on multiculturalism in the context of globalization and the recent populist reaction to it. |
