Synopsis
Multinational Democracies is the first collaborative, multi-perspective critical survey of a new and distinctive type of political association that is coming into prominence in the twenty-first century. These are democratic societies that are not only multicultural but also multinational: that is, they comprise two or more nations. Nineteen leading comparative political scientists and political theorists from Europe and North America clarify the complex character and tensions of multinational democracies by reflecting on four exemplars--the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Canada. The work offers a new approach to the study, understanding and governing of multinational societies and, in so doing, of culturally diverse societies more generally. This volume will be of interest to those concerned with diverse societies, nationalism, struggles for recognition, federalism and democratic constitutionalism in conditions of pluralism.

Book Description
Over the past century the dominant form of political organization has been the single nation-state. This form of democracy is giving way to more complex societies; ones that are multicultural and multinational in composition. This volume by fifteen leading political scientists and political theorists is the first collaborative study of existing multinational democracies and the difficulties involved in governing them. The book concentrates on European and North American democracies and will be of interest to those concerned about the increasing plurality and cultural complexity of modern societies.
Review
"It should be read not only by Canadians of both persuasions but by anyone interested in the politics of nationalism." American Political Science Review
