Description:
Today, all industrialized states are multinational. However, as political sociologist Feliks Gross points out, there remains considerable debate and experimentation on how to organize a multiethnic, democratic, and humane state. In the past, minorities were usually formed as a consequence of conquest or migration; minorities tended to have an inferior status, subordinated to the ruling, dominant ethnic class. Only Rome and the United States provide examples of successful multiethnic states of continental dimensions. Gross examines various types of multiethnic states as well as their early origins and prospects for success.
