Liberalismo y multiculturalidad en el contexto de la globalización

Abstract

This article focuses on the theoretical approach of the cultural liberalism and its contributions to the debate about justice and multiculturalism in the globalization context. The author shows the internal plurality existing into this approach, and he states that it is based on a very restrictive conception of multiculturality and difference. On the one hand, the article tries to clarify the most important theoretical components of the cultural liberalism approach, and on the other hand, it critizes its foundations and analitical propositions. According to these critics, the author suggests some alternative elements contributing to a more complex conception of liberalism where a wide idea of difference could be acepted.
