In several Western countries, expert commissions composed of
academics, public figures, politicians and community organisers
have been established by governments or civil society to reflect on
the changes and challenges of an increasingly plural society.
Commission recommendations on how to 'manage' diversities
successfully have shaped national narratives and affected law and
public policies, yet research on the workings of such commissions
remains rare. This book focuses on the experiences of expert
commissions in the UK, France, Quebec and Belgium. Furthering the
debate on commissions' potential and limitations it draws on the
first-hand experiences and introspection of former commission
members and close observers, along with outside perspectives and
critique from independent scholars. Building on its companion
volume (Public Commissions on Cultural and Religious Diversity:
Analysis, Reception and Challenges), this book engages with core
concepts of identity, nationality, citizenship, freedom, equality
and accommodation. It will appeal to researchers and students of
public policy, sociology, anthropology, law, religion, politics,
history and migration studies, as well as policymakers and anyone
with a general interest in current debates on ethnic, cultural and
religious diversity.
