Throughout history, race and ethnicity have played critical roles
in shaping politics, international policies, and the everyday
experiences of a vast majority of individuals around the globe.
Most nations around the world are now having to face up to culture
clashes and the challenges that accompany globalization and the
increased movement of people across national borders. Such
conflicts include increased competition among racial and ethnic
groups for jobs, housing, education, and other scarce resources.
Other challenges include international migration and immigration
that often change the complexions, racial and ethnic mixes, and
cultural compositions of nations. Such transformations are not
easy. They often lead to racial tensions, racial discrimination,
xenophobia, and at times, even deadly confrontations and warfare.
Societies in Europe, the United States, and other parts of the
world are in rapid transition. This transition is characterized by
changing demographic, economic, and political patterns which, in
turn, raise critical issues with respect to governance, fair and
just public policy, and the meaning of citizenship. Combating
Racism and Xenophobia: Transatlantic and International Perspectives
provides an analysis of racism, racial discrimination, and
xenophobia in the U.S., Europe, and other parts of the world. This
book provides a non-technical summary of some of the best thinking
on racism and xenophobia from internationally known world leaders,
diplomats, and scholars who focus on the international dimensions
of intolerance and what can be done to eliminate such problems.
Using Transatlantic institutions as examples, it also provides
insights and tangible recommendations that, when implemented, go a
long way toward resolving problems that stem from racism and
xenophobia.
