In what ways do local authorities respond to the increasing
socio-cultural heterogeneity of urban populations? While other
studies have often focused on policy declarations, the eight
chapters in this book provide rich evidence on the content and
implementation of local policies. Furthermore, several chapters
offer theoretical insights into the factors driving or hindering
policies that acknowledge socio-cultural heterogeneity and ensure
more equality and inclusive public services. The general focus of
the book is on cities in France and Germany, that is, two major
immigration countries in Europe - countries in which local
authorities have a relatively strong position within the state
structure. The contributions analyze how local actors use their
powers to ensure more equal public employment, adapt cultural
offers and recreational facilities to the demands of a diverse
population, and/or to fight discrimination. Further chapters
investigate who takes part in formulating policies and seek to
explain why cities take different decisions about strategies and
practices. As a whole, the book contributes to the comparative
study of societal diversity and local politics in France and
Germany, and will be of interest to academics, researchers, and
advanced students of Sociology, Public Policy, Law, and Political
Science. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Ethnic and Racial Studies.
