Abstract
An important theme nowadays is that communities are seeking autonomy or self-determination. Due to the popularity of multiculturalism, for example, communities do not want to live in the shadows cast by other groups. Communities want to advance their own agendas, and have policies enacted that make sense locally (Young, Inclusion and democracy, 2000). Everyone expects to participate fully, accordingly, in the formation and operation of key institutions and cultural practices. Also, the favoritism and exclusion of the past is no longer tolerated by most communities, as they strive for recognition and self-expression (Kymlicka, Multicultural citizenship: A liberal theory of minority rights, 1995).
