Liberal values in Europe, as elsewhere, are coming under serious threat, driven by identity politics designed to exploit societal schisms. The historical link between liberalism and diversity in Europe, and the extent to which one can negotiate and accommodate, if not facilitate the other, holds the key to sustainable, coherent and peaceful societies. In this book a collection of scholars based around the Institute for Minority Rights at Eurac Research tackle this vital question through a multifaceted approach that provides insights into the nuances of how law, ideology and politics impact, and are impacted by this challenge. The book will provide rich material to those seeking to understand these paradigms and the existential questions they pose to the liberal state in Europe."
