The Politics of Cultural Pluralism.
Abstract
The difficulties inherent in any political analysis are compounded in the cases of the third world nations by the complexity of their socio-cultural makeup. Western political scientists are often ill-equipped to deal with a fundamental fact of the third world politics - cultural pluralism. The author explores patterns of conflict and integration in a variety of culturally plural societies, and he offers a number of theoretical postulates concerning the nature of such conflict and integration. His approach to the problem is comprehensive both in its scope and in its theoretical aspirations. He applicates his inductively derived general propositions to a number of sattings: Zare, Nigeria, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Indonesia, the Philipins, the Arab world and Latin America.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
