Ч. 2 : Між націоналізмом і толерантністю. - 187 с.

Монография посвящена проблемам идентичностей, играющим огромную роль в процессах взаимоотношений народов и этнокультурной интеграции. Национальная идентичность не менее, а даже более важна для государства, чем охраняемые границы, конституция, армия и другие институты. После распада СССР формирование гражданской общероссийской идентичности в нашей стране стало далеко не простой задачей, т.к. развитие понятий «российская нация», «российская идентичность» и т.д. не осмыслены полностью на теоретическом уровне - отсюда проистекают трудности практического решения. На основе междисциплинарного подхода и эмпирических исследований предпринята попытка изучения трансформации стереотипа «кавкасионец» в «лицо кавказской национальности», рассмотрен процесс формирования антикавказских фобий в СМИ, проблемы самоидентификации «кавказцев», в том числе и дагестанцев, самоощущения русского населения на Северном Кавказе и самоидентификации россиян в целом. Для научных сотрудников, преподавателей, аспирантов и студентов, практических работников, а также широкого круга читателей, интересующихся проблемами идентичности.

Новая книга Паскаля Брюкнера представляет собой яркий памфлет о самосознании Европы, ее взаимоотношениях с Америкой и исламским миром. Темы, поднимаемые автором, актуальны и для России, осмысляющей свое положение в изменившемся мире, - в частности, на постсоветском пространстве.

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 minorities 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 autonomy 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 not only in dealing with national minorities but also with immigrant groups; and it allows to determine how far such rights should also benefit illiberal groups. Participation, not intervention, should here be the guiding principle if group rights are to realize the liberal promise.

The wider peacebuilding field has long suffered under the weight of an intriguing paradox: Violence has never been more studied, understood in terms of its dynamics and patterns, and officially identified as a policy challenge than it has in past the twenty years. And violence continues to unfold with extraordinary resilience in too many communities around the world. In this book Joe Bock makes a significant step into unpacking and suggesting creative ways to respond to this dilemma. I say that as a practitioner- scholar with thirty years of experience in community conflict and as a critic of the difficulties that this promising area of exploration — all too often misnamed as conflict prevention — has failed to deliver. From the standpoint of the practice of strategic peacebuilding several key contributions are worth highlighting from this book.

The concept of toleration plays a central role in pluralistic societies. It designates a stance which permits conflicts over beliefs and practices to persist while at the same time defusing them, because it is based on reasons for coexistence in conflict - that is, in continuing dissension. A critical examination of the concept makes clear, however, that its content and evaluation are profoundly contested matters and thus that the concept itself stands in conflict. For some, toleration was and is an expression of mutual respect in spite of far-reaching differences, for others, a condescending, potentially repressive attitude and practice. Rainer Forst analyses these conflicts by reconstructing the philosophical and political discourse of toleration since antiquity. He demonstrates the diversity of the justifications and practices of toleration from the Stoics and early Christians to the present day and develops a systematic theory which he tests in discussions of contemporary conflicts over toleration.

This book is an introductory textbook on sexual politics and an original contribution to the reformulation of social and political theory. In a discussion of, among other issues, psychoanalysis, Marxism and feminist theories, the structure of gender relations, and working class feminism, the author has produced a work of synthesis and scholarship which should be of interest to students and professionals in sociology, politics, women's studies and to anyone interested in the field of sexual politics.
