Identity Politics, Multiculturalism and Minority Rights

Ilija Vujačić ; Fakultet političkih nauka u Beogradu, Srbija

Sažetak

Multicultural movement gained particular popularity among the political representatives who advocate and establish multicultural policies. Still, the question is: in what measure the public opinion is attached to multicultural policies, and in what measure the politicians work in that sense, in their aspiration for acquiring new votes of cultural groups? In the dominant part of the multicultural discussions, multiculturalism has been primarily treated as the variety of ethnic and national groups, thus usually causing multiculturalism to be reduced to ethno-cultural diversity. This paper considers multiculturality in the narrower sense of political (ethnic) multiculturalism, instead of the broader understanding of so-called cultural multiculturalism,
which also encompasses non-ethnic cultural groups. The main question here is how to respond to the explosion of cultural pluralism - morally, ethically and politically? Does this necessarily require the full redefinition of liberal values, institutions and procedures, which has been advocated by the communitarian and multicultural critique of liberalism?
