The Politics of Group Rights presents case studies from seven countries, illuminated by the latest insights from multicultural and group-rights theory. Cultural diversity has powerful political implications for both industrialized nations and developing countries. In the former, the granting of group rights is seen as a vital extension of liberal democracy, but critics point out that such rights should not negate the human rights of individuals. In developing countries, group rights are seen as indigenous to the prevailing cultural and religious traditions but often times negatively in relation to individual rights.
Ishtiaq Ahmed is Associate Professor of Political Science and International Academic Coordinator at the University of Stockholm. Professor Ahmed holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Stockholm. He is chief editor of the electronic peer-reviewed journal, Peace and Democracy in South Asia.
