Nation-building in Pluralist Societies
Plural societies present unique problems for nation-building and post-conflict reconstruction. The histories, cultures, economic development, social organization, and geographic conditions that render such societies plural, give rise to intensely conflicting collective expectations and demands which adversely effects state-formation and any ensuing prospects for reconstruction. This book highlights innovations and best practices in specific cases, and presents a set of policy-relevant recommendations. | |
