Endnotes 1 Adapted from ‘Responsible Citizenship: a position paper’, originally commissioned by the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation (2011). The views expressed here are those of the author. 2 One typical list, adapted from William Galston (1991), includes: i) general virtues: courage; law-abidingness; loyalty; ii) social virtues: independence; open-mindedness; iii) economic virtues: work ethic; capacity to delay selfgratification; adaptability to economic and technological change; and iv) political virtues: capacity to discern and respect the rights of others; willingness to demand only what can be paid for; ability to evaluate the performance of those in office; willingness to engage in public discourse. 3 Immigration has led to a dramatic increase in ethnic and racial diversity across the western democracies, and this is seen by many commentators as putting stress on the traditional supports of responsible citizenship, or as eroding general levels of solidarity and trust in society, even amongst native-born citizens. This is the sobering conclusion of Robert Putnam’s enormously influential studies, which seem to show a consistently negative correlation between levels of ethnic diversity and levels of social capital across the United States (Putnam, 2007). 4 I have argued elsewhere that this ‘new citizenship agenda’ rests on a series of empirical assumptions about the link between immigration, diversity and citizenship that are false, at least in relation to Canada (Kymlicka, 2010; Bloemraad, 2006). Commonwealth Governance Handbook 2013/14 96 Will Kymlicka is the Canada research chair in political philosophy at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, where he has taught since 1998. His research interests focus on issues of democracy and diversity, and in particular on models of citizenship and social justice within multicultural societies. He has published eight books and over 200 articles, which have been translated into 32 languages, and has received several awards, most recently, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.
