Abstract

"Les sociétés contemporaines deviennent de plus en plus des sociétés multiculturelles dans lesquelles les groupes minoritaires ethniques ou nationaux réclament une reconnaissance publique et les moyens de préserver leur identité culturelle. Une revendication qui n'est pas sans susciter des conflits qui menacent parfois l'unité territoriale des Etats. Pour Will Kymlicka, la réponse à cet enjeu devenu incontournable constitue aujourd'hui l'un des plus grands défis pour la démocratie. Son propos, dans ce livre devenu un classique de la théorie politique, est de défendre une nouvelle conception du statut et des droits des minorités culturelles. A ceux qui objectent que la reconnaissance de certains droits aux minorités (le fameux «communautarisme») menace la conception de la citoyenneté issue des Lumières, Will Kymlicka répond qu'une citoyenneté multiculturelle est à la fois possible et surtout compatible avec le respect des principes qui gouvernent les démocraties libérales : la liberté individuelle, la justice sociale, l'unité nationale. Cependant, conscient que la même réponse politique ne peut être apportée à des situations souvent extrêmement différentes, l'auteur prend bien soin de distinguer la situation des immigrés, des populations indigènes (tels les Indiens d'Amérique) et les minorités nationales. Mais il s'efforce aussi, au regard de cette diversité des situations, d'analyser précisément les types de revendications et leur légitimité : droits linguistiques et culturels, représentation des groupes et des minorités, répartition des terres, fédéralisme, voire sécession, autant d'enjeux qui sont au cœur des interrogations sur l'avenir des démocraties contemporaines."

Abstract

We are currently witnessing the global diffusion of multiculturalism, both as a political discourse and as a set of international legal norms. States today are under increasing international scrutiny regarding their treatment of ethnocultural groups, and are expected to meet evolving international standards regarding the rights of indigenous peoples, national minorities, and immigrants. This phenomenon represents a veritable revolution in international relations, yet has received little public or scholarly attention. In this book, Kymlicka examines the factors underlying this change, and the challenges it raises. Against those critics who argue that multiculturalism is a threat to universal human rights, Kymlicka shows that the sort of multiculturalism that is being globalized is inspired and constrained by the human rights revolution, and embedded in a framework of liberal-democratic values. However, the formulation and implementation of these international norms has generated a number of dilemmas. The policies adopted by international organizations to deal with ethnic diversity are driven by conflicting impulses. Pessimism about the destabilizing consequences of ethnic politics alternates with optimism about the prospects for a peaceful and democratic form of multicultural politics. The result is often an unstable mix of paralyzing fear and naïve hope, rooted in conflicting imperatives of security and justice. Moreover, given the enormous differences in the characteristics of minorities (eg., their size, territorial concentration, cultural markers, historic relationship to the state), it is difficult to formulate standards that apply to all groups. Yet attempts to formulate more targeted norms that apply only to specific categories of minorities (eg., indigenous peoples or national minorities) have proven controversial and unstable.
