The purpose of the article is to analyze the relationship between neoliberalism and liberal multiculturalism, whose position will be presented on the example of the creative heritage of the Canadian political philosopher William Kymlicka. The main focus of the article is on the impact of neoliberal reforms on national minorities. The materials received for 40 years, affecting neoliberal reform, demonstrate the various results of their implementation - from complete failure to success. The article shows both the causes and their consequences. The implementation of the reforms depends on the legal framework governing relations between the cultural majority and the minority of a particular state. In addition, the article attempts to refute the widespread opinion among left-wing political intellectuals that neoliberalism has a connection with multiculturalism. To show the connection between neoliberalism and multiculturalism, they refer to the activities of international economic organizations that demand their financial assistance from recipients and the implementation of a multicultural program aimed at protecting the rights of minorities. Accordingly, the article defines two types of multiculturalism - liberal and neoliberal, and also conducts a study of the author's concept, which describes the impact of liberal multiculturalism on a particular person - "citizenship". The study also reveals the connection between multiculturalism and the welfare state to demonstrate the conceptual difference between the left-liberal and neo-liberal versions.
