Summary:
"Diversity Research and Policy: A Multidisciplinary Exploration provides insight into the role diversity plays in a wide range of academic disciplines, such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, economics, linguistics, business management, criminology, law, ecology and urban planning. Furthermore, it reflects on the implications for policymakers. The volume is a vital tool for anyone conducting research on diversity and an inspiration for practitioners in the field of diversity management and policy implementation. This book has emerged out of the collaborative Network of Excellence (noe) project funded by the European Commission, designed to strengthen excellence on 'Sustainable Development in a Diverse World' (sus.div). The Network comprises 32 Institutes from Europe and beyond. It integrates European research capabilities across disciplines and countries to provide society and polity with tools for managing cultural diversity as a key element in sustainable development.
