Is there any hope that multiculturalism will survive alongside the rise of the political right across democracies? How can policy makers continue to recognize and to accommodate minorities in an increasingly inhospitable ideological environment? Based on evidence from three cases studies, Tremblay develops a hypothesis of multicultural outcomes, arguing that while the threat to multiculturalism is real, there still is hope, and that not only is the fate of minority rights in liberal democracies far from sealed, but it may still be possible to further protect the rights of immigrant and other minority groups in years to come. In order to do this, proponents of diversity politics may need to reconceptualise multiculturalism and other minority rights along instrumental lines as a means to fulfil policy objectives above and beyond the recognition and accommodation of immigrant minorities. This will be an important read for scholars interested in minority rights, multiculturalism, diversity politics, comparative politics, institutionalism, right-wing and far-right studies, and public policy. 410 0$aPalgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship Series,$x2947-6119 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aPublic Policy 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 14$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a306.2 676 $a305.8 700 $aTremblay$b Arjun$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01057859 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337730003321 996 $aDiversity in Decline$92495324 997 $aUNINA
