Nation building and pluralism - Th. Brinkel
experiences and perspectives in state and society in South Africa
KORTE INHOUD
Is it possible to develop a public order, which includes pluralism on the one hand and social cohesion on the other? Can the dilemma between nation building and pluralism be solved? In this study the author sets out to investigate the current debate regarding nation building and pluralism, the role of civil society and constitutional safeguards.The focus is on South Africa.There, after 1994, a democratic Constitution came into force, which serves as a basis of unity. But the Constitution recognises cultural, religious and linguistic pluralism as well.The ability to solve the problems of nation building and pluralism has become an international concern.The problems, mistakes and solutions in the South African debate on nation building and pluralism may serve as examples for the rest of the world.
