Multicultural Jurisdictions : Cultural Differences and Women's Rights Paperback / softback
by Ayelet (University of Toronto) Shachar
Part of the Contemporary Political Theory series
Paperback / softback
Description
Is it possible for the state simultaneously to respect deep cultural differences and to protect the hard-won citizenship rights of vulnerable group members, particularly women?
This 2001 book argues that it is not only theoretically needed, but also institutionally feasible.
Rejecting prevalent normative and legal solutions to this 'paradox of multicultural vulnerability', Multicultural Jurisdictions develops a powerful argument for enhancement of the jurisdictional autonomy of religious and cultural minorities while at the same time providing viable legal-institutional solutions to the problem of sanctioned intra-group rights violation.
This new 'joint governance' approach is guided by an innovative principle that strives for the reduction of injustice between minority groups and the wider society, together with the enhancement of justice within them.
This book will interest students of political and social theory, law, religion, institutional design, as well as cultural and gender studies.
