Title
Community in Liberalism: Language Rights in Quebec
Abstract
The author examines the question of how liberal theory can integrate claims promoting community rights, specifically community linguistic rights, over autonomy. His thesis examines how this problem manifests itself in issues concerning language rights in Quebec, and proposes elements of a conceptual approach that could account for strong language rights such as Bill 101. It involves construing identity as a substantive value on which such communal rights can be founded, and from which government can manage the inevitable tension with more traditional individual rights based on the value of autonomy.
