Beyond Multiculturalism in Europe - Rethinking Equality in the Age of Inequalities
This article deals with the question: is multiculturalism in Europe based on a new understanding of the nature of society? In order to provide an answer, the article first analyses the key insights of the theory of reflexive modernization. Particular attention is given to the ideas of B. Parekh, C. Taylor and W. Kymlicka. The starting point of the analysis is the question about the multiculturalism in the situation of post- traditional social pluralism as an appropriate theoretical and practical model of integration in multiethnic and multicultural societies. The second part moves from the theory to the practice of multiculturalism, discussing a retreat from official multiculturalism policies in Europe. The problems of multiculturalism in Europe are due to a variety of factors: the chronic lack of public support for multiculturalism policies ; immigrants who are socially non-integrated and without civil and political rights ; the demands for the group- specific protection of cultural minorities ; the assimilation of migrants is not seriously considered. The assumption is that the democratic institutions in Europe seem to have lost the idea of common life and public interest. There is no new collective idea of multiculturalism that has captured the public`s imagination. Multicultural public politics in Europe are more transparent and, at the same time, less trusted than ever. The crucial question, however, is a sociological one – have the impacts of globalization and liberalization aggravated existing social inequalities but have also produced new forms of culture inequality in Europe?
