Abstract
All over the world, from Europe to Canada, from South Africa to Tibet, the complacent post-war consensus of liberal-Marxist cosmopolitanism is facing heretical challenges to Enlightenment assumptions of abstract universalism. Old realities of group and place are just not going away. In Europe, Maastricht mega-statism is on the rocks, while in North America, NAFTA news about joining Mexico is about as popular as joining East Germany. Canada is trying to accommodate Mohawks and Quebeckers, and is handing over one fifth of its land mass to the Inuit in a new place called Nunavut. In South Africa the ANC is trying not to accommodate Zulus, and China is trying to keep the lid on Tibet.Keywords
