Ever since the 1960s, the cultural diversity of civil society has been the subject of public controversy, on account of pressures exerted by three forces of contestation, that are still active: feminism, nationalism & ethnic movements, in which the latter relates to immigrant minorities & black & aboriginal movements. What has followed has been a large-scale debate in political philosophy, sociology, anthropology, & political science, on the status of cultural differentiation in a modern political system. This text attempts to examine this debate through an analysis of the proposed responses to calls by these groups for genuine equality. 150 References. Adapted from the source document.

This is a paper tracing the history of an ideology, in the classical Marxist sense of the term: a framework of thought which purports to make sense of reality but which in fact masks its real dynamics, and which is developed in the service of class interest (Marx, 1970). The ideology in question here has to do with the ways in which social scientists conceptualize and analyse the dynamics of those societies usually described as the Third World. In recent years, following the failure of functionalism and such developmentalist schemas as Rostow's stages of economic growth, there has begun to emerge an interest in thinking about Third World societies in terms of social and cultural pluralism. It is this framework of thought which is to be examined here.

A review article on a book by David Miller, Market, State and Community: Theoretical Foundations of Market Socialism (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976 [see listing in IRPS No. 64]). Miller's aim is to demonstrate that market socialism is both more efficient & truer to our "underlying value-commitments" than its chief contemporary rival, libertarianism. His main argument is that markets, when suitably regulated but not dominated by the state, are conducive to distributive justice, political democracy, & the avoidance of exploitation. When coupled with the institutions of the welfare state, a market system can bring about an ethical distribution of income while retaining economic efficiency & promoting tolerance & cultural pluralism. His argument is convincing only if several questionable assumptions are accepted, ie, that: (1) the people in modern society share common values & regard themselvs as members of a national community, because this is supposed to be the glue holding market socialism together; & (2) the only real alternative to socialism is libertarianism, an incoherent philosophy even by its own standards. Miller portrays nations as hermetically sealed bubbles interacting only minimally with each other. It is unclear what would happen to the theory of market socialism if Miller recognized that modern states face transnational markets & an international bureaucracy without real democratic accountability.
