The weak and strong type of intercultural state

In some Countries, interculturality is seen as a method for any strategy of peaceful social coexistence. Interculturality is a sign of change from the traditional multicultural approach adopted by many States. The innovative scope of interculturality in Ecuador and Bolivia prompts the formulation of theories that place this phenomenon within the framework of legal categories, and fuels debates on its autonomy between forms of State. In this essay, we ask whether interculturality can give rise to a new model of form of State and what its essential characteristics should be. Adopting a fuzzy approach to the proposed classification, a weak and a strong type of intercultural State are outlined.
