Theory and research in education, 1: 147–169. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]), "Multicultural States and Intercultural Citizens". 2. The adjective 'intercultural' does have some currency in reference to Australian multiculturalism, albeit typically as an aspect of it rather than as an alternative to it (see, for example, FECCA 2010 FECCA (Federation of Ethnic Communities' Councils of Australia) , 2010 . 'Different but equal': FECCA's national multicultural agenda . Canberra : Author . [Google Scholar]: 13). 3. I try to show how autonomy-based liberalism invites intercultural dialogue in Levey (2012 Levey, G.B. 2012. Liberal autonomy as a pluralistic value. The Monist, 95(1): 103–126. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]).
