This volume considers different policies governments have pursued in their efforts to contend with the tensions inherent in multiethnic societies. The book focuses on Asia and the Pacific, the most populous and economically vibrant part of the world. The heart of the book is a set of case studies of government policies in sixteen countries. The studies consider a wide range of political, economic, educational, linguistic, and cultural policies, and how these policies have evolved over time. The authors offer policy recommendations that cut across individual countries and regions.
