ABSTRACT

This chapter argues that the new legal responses to diversity that have made a case for, ought to be the product of constitutional pluralist discourses. It provides a new vista on constitutional pluralism that is grounded by the author's fresh perspectives on justice and law. Although this vista on constitutional pluralism does not require a comprehensive account, it is difficult to propose constitutional discourses with no notion of what 'constitutional' might encapsulate. Furthermore, the process of measuring up the proposals for a new vista of constitutional pluralism against these criteria permits further explanation of the idea of the new form of constitutionalism. The value of historical and discursive continuity can also be seen in the proposal for a new vista on constitutional pluralism in the form of discourses, as opposed to a new set of legal claims or a modified constitution. Moreover, they have allowed an illustration of the relations between the constitutional pluralist discourses and the normative framework.
