This comprehensive and innovative volume focuses on the usefulness
and relevance of extending the scope of protections already in
place for national minorities ('old minorities') to migrant
populations ('new minorities') in Europe. Delving into a highly
relevant but under-researched issue, the book examines the
feasibility of expanding the system of protection for national
minorities to migrant groups, as well as considering issues of
diversity, security, socio-economic concerns and identity. Taking a
multidisciplinary perspective, and combining insights from
political science, law, sociology and anthropology, it asks the
central question of how far the extension of policies and rights
currently specific to national minorities is conceptually
meaningful and beneficial to the integration of 'new' minorities.
In doing so, it questions the feasibility and appropriateness of
extending the scope of the protections already in place for
national minorities to other categories of population. This book
will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of
European Union politics, migration studies, minority studies and
more broadly of sociology, international law and human rights.

Immigration has transformed the social, economic, political and
cultural landscapes of global cities such as London, Melbourne,
Milan and Amsterdam. The term 'superdiversity' captures a new era
of migration-driven demographic diversifications and associated
complexities. Superdiversity is the future or, in many cases, the
current reality of neighbourhoods, cities, countries and regions,
yet the implications of superdiversification for governance and
policy have, until now, received very little attention. First
published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this
insightful volume brings together contributions from experts across
Europe to explore the ways in which superdiversity has shaped the
development of policy and to consider challenges for the future.

'Equal is not Enough' is the title of a series of conferences that
has aimed, over the years, to generate a better understanding of
what shapes and reshapes inequalities by inviting and promoting
multi-disciplinary insights and reflection. One of the conferences
hosted at Antwerp University in February 2015 focused on
discrimination law. The conveners welcomed papers on the
relationship between social policy and discrimination law (or
closely related human rights issues), which investigate the
tensions and (in)compatibilities between the respective aims and
tools of social policy and discrimination law. They were
particularly interested in contributions that transcend legal
technicalities and reflect on the function of discrimination law as
part of a wider social policy in the European Union and its member
states. Following a very strict selection procedure conducted by
the editors and rigorous peer review, a collection of papers from
the conference now appears in this book, Equal is not Enough, which
takes its name from the title of the conference. In short, within
this volume, the reader will find a selection of high-quality
papers presented at this conference, organised by the Flemish
Policy Research Centre on Equality Policies (a consortium of the
Universities of Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Hasselt and Leuven). This
publication is aimed at researchers, but it will also be of
interest to practitioners of discrimination law who would like to
enhance their scientific background.
