How does a multi-ethnic society resolve the contentious issue of
shares and resource allocation without damaging the state? Arguing
that ethnic divides in underdeveloped states are much more evident
than in developed countries, this study examines inequality in
relation to distributive justice, the adaptation of political
structures and institutions, the role of symbols of recognition in
representation and strategies of conflict management in power
sharing, resource allocation and public policy.
In recent years a number of countries have introduced affirmative
action programmes in order to put right historical injustices and
economic inequalities involving ethnic communities. This book
examines affirmative action programmes in a range of countries
around the world. It discusses how such programmes came about and
how they have been implemented, and examines their effectiveness.
Throughout it explores how far affirmative action programmes
reinforce ethnic identities and thereby contribute to division and
conflict. The countries covered are India, the United States, South
Africa, Northern Ireland, Brazil, Malaysia and Fiji.
