Description
This book discusses the crisis in modern governance rooted in the social fragmentation of modern society, the expanding diversity of values, beliefs and lifestyles generated by globalization and the technological revolution. Chapters advocate for a convergence of the institutional theory of polycentricity and the political philosophy of modus vivendi - live and let live - as a basic conceptual framework to uphold a peaceful and tolerant society, while presenting detailed analysis of a wide range of case studies.

'This book on governing differences by Paul Dragos Aligica and Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili is of utmost relevance to the present day, when we are faced with an urgent need to respond positively to deep cleavages and value heterogeneity straining existing institutions and regimes.
