This second edition contains 14 countries as opposed to 16 in the
first edition, but is essentially different as it not only includes
updates for the countries in common, but also six new ones
including Australia, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria and
Russia. It is, therefore, essentially a complement to the first
edition. The editors suggest that one of the most significant
effects of globalization has been to widen the scope of diversity
management as workforces are becoming more diverse, with migrants
posing a particular challenge in some countries. Examination at
national level is crucial as anti-discrimination legislation and
its implementation vary from country to country, especially with
respect to whether or not positive discrimination is a feature.
Above all the picture is changing over time. Hence the need for
this new edition.' - Peter J. Sloane, Swansea University, UK and
Flinders University, Australia'By covering the diversity practices
in 14 different countries this Handbook makes evident the need to
consider diversity management from a global and local standpoint.
What is legal and standard practice towards equality in one country
can be viewed as discriminative and unlawful just across the
border. With such complex reality, the authors of this book make an
incredible job of providing the reader with detailed and useful
information on how to approach diversity 'glocally' (that is, in
multiple geographies). The book, in a way, is a global travel guide
for diversity management that benefits both business managers and
HR practitioners operating in the international arena.' - Simon L.
Dolan, ESADE Business School, Spain and Editor-in-Chief, Cross
Cultural Management: An International Journal Managing and
developing diversity is on the political and business agenda in
many countries; therefore diversity management has become an area
of knowledge and practice in its own right. Yet all too often it is
referred to as a unifying concept, as if it were to be interpreted
uniformly across all cultures and countries. The contributors to
this volume expertly examine the relationship between diversity
management and equality legislation within the different
participating countries' national contexts. They advocate that such
separation and sequencing between equality at work and diversity
management is far from natural. The second edition of this
important reference work provides important updates and new
perspectives on the cases constituting the first edition as well as
including contributions from a number of new countries: Australia,
Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Nigeria and Russia. Countries that
have been updated and expanded are Austria, Canada, France, India,
Italy, the Netherlands, South Africa and the United Kingdom. This
Handbook will be greatly appreciated by scholars who wish to better
contextualize their research and will also provide policy-makers
with benchmark data regarding equal treatment and diversity as
understood in other countries. Contributors: I. Adeleye, D.
