Addresses the conceptual and practical challenges surrounding the promotion of solidarity in divided societiesGeorge Vasilev argues against critics who claim that group-representative measures are incompatible with solidarity. Instead, he explains how they provide the incentive structure needed for inter-ethnic cooperation. By looking beyond the representative institutions of the nation state, Vasilev shows us how NGOs, international institutions and opinion leaders are becoming increasingly important in cultivating inter-ethnic openness.Key FeaturesThe first systematic exploration of solidarity in divided societiesIdentifies avenues for conflict transformation beyond and below the nation-stateExamines the relationship between solidarity, multicultural policies and deliberative democracyAdvances a conception of solidarity where cultural difference and disagreement defines human relations
