The Limits Of Multiculturalism

1.Multiculticulturalism and transnationalism are concepts that belong to the present historical era. They have been produced in western countries, and are used often, with a deep unconscious ethnocentrism. Aren't they part of the intellectual hegemony of the west, and in the same time, maybe, of its decline?
2. There is in some parts of the world at least a feeling that multiculturalism, if not a failure, is at least in a difficult situation, and there are important criticisms of the idea of transnationalism
3. The political concrete limits of multiculturalism are connected with the rising importance of globalization, including transnational phenomenons. But globalization does not necessarily mean the decline or the crisis of the Nation and/or the State, which is the natural framework for multiculturalist policies and institutions. And the limits of transnationalism are given by States that still control borders, deliver passports, authorisations for transit, visas, etc.  If societies are not entering in an era where multiculturalism and transnationalism are stronger and stronger, how will they deal with cultural differences, on the one hand, and with identities and practises that are not liited to one national state?
