Early warning initiatives usually focus on the potential for political instability or violent conflict in fragile states. But what happens if we refocus “early warning” through a pluralism lens? The demonization of diversity in outwardly peaceful societies, including robust democracies, promotes exclusion from the nation and the state. If the object of pluralism is inclusive citizenship, how do we define “crisis”? How do we define “risk”? How far back from the brink of conflict should we look? What value would a pluralism perspective bring?
