These historical accounts provide the resources with which Eisenberg reconstructs a democratic theory of political pluralism. At the center of political pluralism, she argues, is a pluralist approach to self-development that can address the key ambiguities of identity politics and provide a more effective means to balance the power relations between individuals and communities than can individualist or communitarian approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892459552919,"sku":"9780791425626","price":3085.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780791425626.webp?v=1781187085","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reconstructing-political-pluralism-9780791425626","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
