Modernity and Minority Nationalism: Commentary on Thomas Franck [Abstract]
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
December 4, 1997
Focusing on the nature of modern nationalism, Kymlicka asserts that Franck
overstates the dichotomy of so-called romantic tribal nationalism and
traditional nationalism as seen in the United States and France, which Franck
claims is liberal, inclusive, and based on political principles rather than
blood lines. Using examples from France, the United States, and Quebec, Kymlicka
shows that language and common identity as well as liberal principles of freedom
and democracy compose modern liberal nationalism. More sympathetic to minority
nationalism than Franck, Kymlicka argues that minority movements are not
irrational but often based upon legitimate claims, claims that majorities
frequently fail to take seriously. Kymlicka concludes in agreement with Franck
that minority nationalists should have greater representation at the
international level, not simply as a means of pacifying minority nationalists
but in the interests of international justice.
