Three Theories of Liberalism for the Three Theories of Federalism: A Hegelian Turn

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Comparative Territorial Politics series ((COMPTPOL))

Abstract

The history of political liberalism has produced a number of competing normative theories. Each of them offers conceptual frameworks which induce one to select specific questions as being the most important and to answer them using specific concepts, values and language, while other questions, concepts and values put forward by rival theories are sidelined or simply ignored. More specifically, liberal political theories of a strictly individualistic nature tend to approach the issue of national and cultural minorities through a notion of homogeneous ‘citizenship’, while liberal theories which combine the individual perspective with others of a collective nature will be more inclined to introduce different principles of legitimisation and to pluralise the concept and the institutional regulation of citizenship through national and cultural pluralism.
