	Pasi Ihalainen: The Discourse on Political Pluralism in Early Eighteenth-century England - Introduction
		Pluralism in thought was connected with pluralism within the polity: the connected structural developments include the emergence of perpetual party divisions, a possibility for the political elite and even the public at large to choose between alternative political groupings, the extension of public political debate and the rise of parliamentary opposition.
		The growth of political pluralism was a development that could not escape the attention of the political elite even if many of its members wished to close their eyes to such an undesired transformation.
		Political pluralism was connected with ecclesiastical pluralism, and the conceptual aspects of this linkage are of particular interest to this study.

		My argument is that the fit between value pluralism and political liberalism is tighter than Gray supposes but that nonetheless his objection has important implications for our understanding of the role of deep pluralism within liberal societies.
		Pluralism is one premise in an argument for a protected zone of moral liberty.
		So understood, the politics of compromise is not an unprincipled, split-the difference tactical pragmatism; nor is it the pursuit of conflict reduction for its own sake, a bare modus vivendi.

	Political Polytheism
		Political pluralism is not simply a political philosophy: it is a theology.
		In Political Polytheism Dr. Gary North sets forth a challenge to the reigning political philosophy of our day, a philosophy which says that God's people must remain politically silent, that neutrality is a valid religion, and that the King of history must confine Himself to the home, the church, and the funeral parlor.
		Political Polytheism challenges the myth of neutrality, they myth of political pluralism, and the myth of the Constitutional Convention.

	Isaiah Berlin
		Political action should be based on a ‘sense of reality’ founded on experience, empathetic understanding of others, sensitivity to the environment, and personal judgement about what is true or untrue, significant or trivial, alterable or unalterable, effective or useless etc.
		Nor does pluralism, with its emphasis on the place of tragic conflict and loss in human life, capture the affirmative zest for life and delighted enthusiasm for human beings that was central to Berlin's character as a man and thinker.

	PLURALISM AND SEGMENTATION IN POST-COMMUNIST ALBANIA
		Their idea of pluralism is that of a form of homeostatic balance between opposite factions and interest sub-groups, i.e., not as a to-be-applied principle, but as an unwanted, but still unavoidable effect of a tendentially equal distribution of power.
		Political pluralism tends to be articulated according to some universal schemes: left and right, democrats and liberals, progressists and conservatories, moderates and extremists.
		Political parties had to be different not only because they had different names, or because they were composed by people representing different groups and in disagreement with one another, but also because of their different objectives and goals.

	Evangelical Political Compromise -NRA
		Politics, we are told by what is now the "conventional wisdom" of political science, is the art of compromise.
		The political compromises of evangelicals, therefore, do not deserve praise, but, rather, condemnation for their compromises have worked to undermine the kingdom of God and have contributed substantially to the ongoing advance of the kingdom of darkness in the politics of our nation.
		The evangelical political compromise of democratic pluralism and natural law is a repudiation of the biblical doctrines of Christ's present reign over the nations and of the authority of the word of Christ; it is an offense to King Jesus.

		The same, he believed, would apply to the freedom of political practice and opinion by leading administrators who endeavour to interpret and apply rules and provisions in accordance with the laws of their own countries.
		Kings and ministers, he explained, are licensed in the realm of politics to pursue various routes that in the end serve one purpose: good administration and justice.
		In his opinion, political pluralism is a necessity because it is not possible for any political system to be set up in modern times while denying the people the right to differ, to disagree and to exercise their rights to free expression and assembly.

		Party pluralism in the environment without rotation of the government parties and – in the broader sense – with a fossilised establishment was bound to be incomplete.
		However, it is still too soon to speak of consolidation and/or actual ”maturing” of the Montenegro party and political arrangement, mainly because it is difficult to assess all medium and long-term consequences of protracted polarisation of the late 1990s as well as of the mounting tensions between the establishments of Montenegro and Serbia.
		Political options implemented by the Montenegro party elites between 1997 and 1998 were not entirely determined by the above communist legacies, representing the outcome of a set of heterogeneous factors of both structural and openly opportunist nature.

	Laith Kubba, "Islam and Liberal Democracy: Recognizing Pluralism
		While the democratic polities of the West have their roots in a centuries-long process of evolution, modern political systems in Muslim countries have undergone a series of abrupt changes since the end of the old caliphate in 1924 and the coming of independence in the postWorld War II era.
		Islamic teachings have shaped the history and political culture of hundreds of millions of people over fourteen centuries, and have embraced a vast range of nations, cultures, sects, and schools of thought.
		Since these schools are apolitical by tradition, the interpretation of the political aspects of Islam has recently been claimed by combinations of activist clerics and political groups.

		Proclaiming Political Pluralism: Churches and Political Transitions in Africa is one of the titles in the series of Religion in the Age of Transformation of Praeger Publishers.
		In chapter four, the church-state relation in South Africa is regarded as confrontational because reaction against the repression of civil society is the primary explanation for the involvement of churches in political activities.
		His suggestion is that churches should remain active and influence Africa’s plural politics with peace and love through the press, radio, television, public rhetoric, peace education, peace and reconciliation conference, relief and development aid, and prayer.

	H-Net Review: Jeremy Gregory on The Discourse on Political Pluralism in Early ...
		Although Ihalainen is careful to stress that this did not mean that modern notions of political pluralism were ever a feature of the period, nevertheless he does argue that it was this grudging recognition of differing political views in the early eighteenth century which was a major factor distinguishing England from Europe.
		Second, it could be argued that Ihalainen's focus on the early eighteenth century as the period when political pluralism was accepted exaggerates both the extent to which political diversity had been regarded as an anathema in previous periods and the extent to which it had been normalized by 1750.
		This leads Ihalainen to suggest that before political diversity could be accepted religious diversity would have to be acknowledged and he shrewdly points out that the stress of moderation and toleration in the religious sphere contained the possibility of the acceptance of alternative points of view in the political sphere.

		Numerous political and intellectual conferences have been held to investigate ways and means to begin or enhance the process of political democratization and intellectual, social, and economic liberalization of the Islamic world.
		A new political process that stresses the importance of political democratization and liberalization is on the rise and is entertained within a whole range of political and social strata, including the media and academia.
		While Muslims’ politics may suggest uniformity of intent and practice, Lawrence shows—through analytical socioeconomic studies of Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Tunisia as well as, later, of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Malaysia—that the source of this uniformity is the manipulation of symbolic resources and the permeability of boundaries.

	Religious Diversity (Pluralism)
		Someone is a religious non-exclusivist with respect to a given issue when she denies that the religious perspective of any basic theistic system or variant thereof is superior to all other religious perspectives on this issue.
		A better, more honest salvific pluralism, we are told, is to acknowledge that each religion has its own path to salvation that may be either similar to or different from that of other religions.

		This is the general view of political party leaders and academics who recently met in Dar es Salaam to discuss “Building Public Confidence and Peace” at a two-day workshop.
		Most of the discussants at the 12th meeting of the political situation in Tanzania were deeply concerned with lack of democracy within the new political groups launched after the country embraced the path to democracy in 1992.

	SUNY Press :: Reconstructing Political Pluralism
		This reappraisal of the pluralist tradition systematically explores accounts of political pluralism offered by James, Dewey, Figgis, Cole, Laski, Follett, and Dahl and shows how each variant contains a distinct account of the relation between group power, individual interest, and self-development.
		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.

		Pasi Ihalainen's book demonstrates that political pluralism was generally conceptualised through terminology derived from the traditionally dominant religious discourse, which contributed to continuity in critical attitudes towards political parties.
		There also occurred a decline in the frequency of religious terms, as politics and religion became understood as separate, though analogous, spheres.
		Terminologies of religious and political pluralism, became more distinct, which facilitated the expression of more positive attitudes towards political pluralism.

		Reactive groups - motivated by political or economic insecurity, questions of identity, or territorial disputes - are most visible because of their aggressiveness.

		But the disturbances also point to the perils of focusing too much on the mechanisms of power-sharing and autonomy — and too little on the quotidian burdens of the marginalized men and women whom those mechanisms are supposed to serve.

	Event: Guest Lecture by William Galston to address Diversity, Political Pluralism
		Professor Galston, who formerly taught in the Government Department of the University of Texas, is currently the Saul I. Stern Professor of Civic Engagement and Director, Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy, at the University of Maryland.
		He is a distinguished political theorist, the author most recently of Liberal Pluralism: The Implications of Value Pluralism for Political Theory (Cambridge University Press, 2002), as well as Liberal Purposes: Goods, Virtues, and Diversity in the Liberal State (Cambridge University Press, 1991).
		What unites much of his work is an attempt to confront the reality of significant differences of perspective, whether the key word be “diversity,” “multiculturalism,” or “pluralism” within the American social and political order and their implications for the achievement of the American motto E Pluribus Unum, out of plurality, unity.
