1. INTRODUCTION
The Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy at Queen's University is
organizing a multi-year, research project on citizenship, democracy
and minority rights in multiethnic states, under the direction of
Prof. Will Kymlicka. As part of this project, the Forum distributes a
quarterly newsletter updating recent developments in the field, of
which this is the fourteenth issue. We hope that it will be of
interest to anyone working in the field, whether in academia, public
service, or various non-governmental organizations.

this newsletter, or if you would like copies of the back-issues,
