The pluralism of contemporary states is often conceptualised as a problem of culture, which calls for more social cohesion. This in turn requires political, civic solutions. But what such appeals to words like citizenship, constitutionalism or civic patriotism imply is contested. From a cross-disciplinary and conceptual perspective the book discusses political solutions to cultural conflict such as constitutional patriotism, republicanism and liberal nationalism, but places these debates in the context of real national traditions, where all civic language inevitably also reflects "culture".

Industry Reviews

'There is much to commend in this well-organized book. Considering the number of contributors, the editors have done a fine job. The importance of this volume is to be found in its incorporation of recent developments in empirical theory.' - Eric Taylor Woods, Nations and Nationalism
