Cultural diversity and difference is increasing in European cities, driven by
economic integration, migration, globalization and EU enlargement. Against a background of cultural friction, Migration and Cultural Inclusion in the European City is centrally concerned with how governance approaches to urban management and grassroots community dialogue can foster a sense of citizenship within which cultural difference can embed in a spirit of tolerance.
This collection, surveying the scene in a representative cross-section of
European cities, including the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy,
Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Portugal and the Republic of Ireland,
explores the question of how to build the 'multicultural' city, and scrutinizes
the policy agenda at European level and across a variety of different urban contexts. Following the growth of the far right in many European cities, high-profile events such asthe murder of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn and on-going attempts to rebuild communities in zones of conflict, such as Belfast and Sarajevo, issues of cultural diversity and difference challenge the very definition of the European city .
