Group Rights as Human Rights: A Liberal Approach to Multiculturalism by Neus Torbisco Casals (Hardback, 2006)

About this product

Product Information

Liberal theories have long insisted that cultural diversity in democratic societies can be accommodated through classical liberal tools, in particular through individual rights, and they have often rejected the claims of cultural mirities for group rights as illiberal. Group Rights as Human Rights argues that such a rejection is misguided. Based on a thorough analysis of the concept of group rights, it proposes to overcome the dominant dichotomy between individual human rights and collective group rights by recognizing that group rights also serve individual interests. It also challenges the claim that group rights, so understood, conflict with the liberal principle of neutrality; on the contrary, these rights help realize the neutrality ideal as they counter cultural biases that exist in Western states. Group rights deserve to be classified as human rights because they respond to fundamental, and morally important, human interests. Reading the theories of Will Kymlicka and Charles Taylor as complementary rather than opposed, Group Rights as Human Rights sees group rights as anchored both in the value of cultural belonging for the development of individual automy and in each person's need for a recognition of her identity. This double foundation has important consequences for the scope of group rights: it highlights their potential t only in dealing with national mirities but also with immigrant groups; and it allows to determine how far such rights should also benefit illiberal groups. Participation, t intervention, should here be the guiding principle if group rights are to realize the liberal promise.
