Synopsis

As Europe becomes increasingly diverse, understanding the effects of differences within European democracy is crucial. The contributors to "Difference and Democracy" take a novel interdisciplinary approach to this important dimension of social interaction, drawing on political science, sociology, communications studies, legal studies, and art history. Contrary to alarmist accounts of difference in Europe, these essays explore its potentially positive impact, outlining the conditions under which differences could lead to effective and legitimate political action.
