New publication
Managing Diversity
Practices of Citizenship, edited by Nicholas Brown and Linda Cardinal
Published in the University of Ottawa Press’ Governance series, this collection arises from a workshop held at University College Dublin (where Nicholas Brown was professor of Australian history) and reflects on current debates over citizenship and diversity in Australia, Ireland and Canada. With both a comparative and public policy focus, each essay seeks to adapt broad concerns with ‘democracy and difference’ to specific issues arising in three nations that have often surprising levels of commonality in the challenges they face. Questions of globalisation and economic regionalism, immigration and multiculturalism, constitutional reform and civic governance set the context for seven perspectives on current debates, and prompt consideration of a perhaps unusual combination of societies and states.
