Exploring the debate within social sciences on the consequences of
ethnic diversity for social cohesion and the production of public
goods, this book draws on extensive survey data from Germany to
engage with questions surrounding the relationship between ethnic
diversity and issues such as welfare provision and the erosion of
public trust and civic engagement in Europe. It moves away from the
question of whether there is in fact a universal correlation
between ethnic diversity and social cohesion in order to focus on
the reasons for which people's reciprocity and trust might be
reduced in more ethnically diverse areas. Drawing attention to the
importance of peoples' perceptions of diversity in explaining
levels of social cohesion, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion
shows how specific types of perceived diversity can help explain
the reasons for which ethnic diversity is associated with declines
in social cohesion, and the contexts and conditions in which this
occurs. The book also outlines potential courses of action,
revealing the important roles of residential segregation, children
and interethnic partners in overcoming barriers of language, values
and cognitive bias. A rigorous, timely study of ethnic diversity
and its relation to liberal democracy as a form of deliberative
conflict that requires certain levels of trust, shared values and
engagement, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion will be of
interest to policy makers, sociologists and political scientists
working in the fields of race and migration, ethnic diversity and
community cohesion.
