Multicultural Governance in a Mobile World

How can multicultural governance respond to our increasingly complex migratory world?

Migration-related cultural diversity poses a number of highly pressing challenges for liberal democratic societies. This book explores what forms of migrant accommodation and multicultural citizenship we can envisage in the contemporary context of increased migration, where newcomers are often not given a settlement perspective.

Through both theoretical contributions and empirically orientated analyses, this book provides insights into how theories and practices of multicultural citizenship and migrant integration are adapting, and might adapt in the future, to the new patterns of international migration and mobility that we are seeing in today's world.

Key Features
