Due to growing negative perceptions about relations between
historically entrenched, dominant populations and various minority
groups, issues relating to the need to better manage cultural and
religious diversity have been intensifying in many countries. These
negative perceptions have recently led to a significant increase in
popular support for right and extreme right nationalist discourses,
and have created so much public tension that national governments
have had no choice but to respond. In the last two decades, in
several Western contexts in particular, the issues raised by such
combined challenges have culminated in the creation of
government-initiated or private national commissions. This book
presents the results of a multidisciplinary analysis, from a
broader framework that includes the national public commissions
which have addressed the challenges of managing cultural and
religious diversity in Belgium, Britain, Canada (Quebec), France,
Morocco and Norway (including also other cases of public management
in Australia and Singapore). It includes in-depth studies of the
issues and controversies examined by each of the commissions, such
as the ways they perceived the issues, their results and impact,
the key political players involved, the media debates and reception
surrounding each commission, the communication strategies and
difficulties their leaders encountered, as well as the legal
aspects each commission has raised. The reports represent a rich
body of work charting the fundamental questions nations face about
their nature, history and future while the impact on peoples' lives
tells us much about different approaches to the issues of cultural
identity between countries.
