Concerns about immigration and the rising visibility of
minorities have triggered a lively scholarly debate on the
consequences of ethnic diversity for trust, cooperation, and other
aspects of social cohesion. In this accessibly written volume,
leading scholars explore where, when, and why ethnic diversity
affects social cohesion by way of analyses covering the major
European immigration countries, as well as the United Sates and
Canada. They explore the merits of competing theoretical accounts
and give rare insights into the underlying mechanisms through which
diversity affects social cohesion. The volume offers a nuanced
picture of the topic by explicitly exploring the conditions under
which ethnic diversity affects the glue that holds societies
together. With its interdisciplinary perspective and contributions
by sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists, as
well as economists, the book offers the most comprehensive analysis
of the link between ethnic diversity and social cohesion that is
currently available."
