Is globalization bad for multiculturalism ? Or - on the contrary - does it enhance it ? Is there such a thing as a universal concept of diversity  ? Or is it a culture-bound, historical notion, susceptible of change ? How did legal systems and international organizations react to the new diversities that emerged in last decade following migration from Asia and Africa to the West ? What are the new challenges facing an enlarged Europe ? Is there any lesson that can be learned from the U.S. Multicultural paradigm ? What are the new frontiers of multiculturalism ?

This book gathers contributions on present and relevant issues, written by scholars coming from different backgrounds, in the attempt to give the reader new and wider perspectives on multiculturalisms in a global world.
