SOCIAL CAPITAL AND DIVERSITY - ABDOLMOHAMMAD KA...

Dealing with the consequences of a rising ethnic and cultural diversity will most likely be
among the major challenges of the 21st century  particularly in immigrant-receiving countries
in Europe  North America  as well as Australia. The sharp increase in ethnic diversity has
questioned the relevance of many structures  policies  and practices that were based on the
premise of ethnic cultural homogeneity of populations in such countries. Based on several years
of extensive research on this topic in Canada  this book offers an image  in which ethnic
diversity is associated positively with social goods. In particular  the study reported here
shows that Canada does not seem to have suffered from the rising diversity. The findings also
suggest that the key element that can translate diversity into positive outcomes is an
increased social interaction - and not merely an inter-cultural understanding - among people of
diverse backgrounds.
