    Content: By unanimous adoption of the Universal Declaration of Cultural Diversity, the UNESCO Member States accepted a new ethical approach to respect diversity as a guiding principle for democratic societies. While support for the Declaration remains strong, there is a general awareness that the democratic management of multicultural societies needs rethinking and further development. This publication examines the political governance of cultural diversity, specifically how public policy-making has dealt with the claims for cultural recognition that have increasingly been expressed by ethno-national movements, language groups, religious minorities, indigenous peoples and migrant communities. Its principle aim is to understand, explain and assess public policy responses to ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity. Adopting interdisciplinary perspectives of comparative social sciences, the contributors address the conditions, forms, and consequences of democratic and human-rights-based governance of multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-faith societies.--Publisher's description

    Content: "Despite the large-scale development of electronic communications in all scientific fields, experiences show that face-to-face communication remains essential, particularly in developing co-operation and networks. Therefore the GESIS Branch Office Berlin organized a workshop, that should serve as a forum both to exchange experiences of how to establish a data archive and to evaluate the potential for the establishment of data archives in Eastern European countries without a developed data infrastructure. The reports on data archiving in 13 Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia and Hungary) are presented in this volume and the creation of the East European Data Archive Network is described."
    Note: CONFERENCE NOTE: "This book is the outcome of the workshop on social science data archives in Eastern Europe that took place in Berlin from 22-24th February 2002. The workshop was funded by the UNESCO's Management of Social Transformations Programme (MOST) and the German Social Science Infrastructure Services (GESIS)/Central Archive Cologne." -- Acknowledgements, pages [5] , Preface: Opening Remarks / Brigitte Hausstein -- Preface: Welcome Address / Walter Hirche -- Data and Information Transfer between Eastern and Western Europe / Brigitte Hausstein -- Some Insights into the Development of the Data Movement / Ekkehard Mochmann -- PART I : COUNTRY REPORTS : Bulgaria / Yantsislav Yanakiev -- Lithuania / Algis Krupavicius and Vladas Gaidys -- Poland / Krzysztof Zagorski, Michal Wenzel and Bogdan Cichomski -- Ukraine / Andrij Gorbachyk and Olha Honcharenko -- Yugoslavia / Ljiljana Bacevic -- PART II : DATA ARCHIVE PROGRESS REPORTS : Establishing the Sociological Data Archive in the Czech Republic / Jindrich Krejci -- Empirical Research and the Situation of Data Archiving in Estonia / Rein Murakas and Andu Rämmer -- Latvian Social Science Data Archive / Ausma Tabuna -- The Data Bank of Sociological Research / Nina Rostegaeva -- Compiling an Open Sociological Archive in Russia / Lyudmila Khakhulina and Larisa Kosova -- The Data Archive Project in the Republic of Slovakia / Katarina Strapcova -- The Romanian Social Science Data Archive / Adrian Dușa -- Experience with the Data Documentation Initiative Codebook Standard in ADP, Slovenia / Janez Štebe -- TARKI Databank / Ildiko Nagy -- Final Remarks / Brigitte Hausstein and Paul de Guchteneire -- List of Contributors -- List of Participants

    Content: The UN Convention on Migrant Workers' Rights is the most comprehensive international treaty in the field of migration and human rights. Adopted in 1990 and entered into force in 2003, it sets a standard in terms of access to human rights for migrants. However, it suffers from a marked indifference: only forty states have ratified it and no major immigration country has done so. This highlights how migrants remain forgotten in terms of access to rights. Even though their labour is essential in the world economy, the non-economic aspect of migration - and especially migrants' rights - remain a neglected dimension of globalisation. This volume provides in-depth information on the Convention and on the reasons behind states' reluctance towards its ratification. It brings together researchers, international civil servants and NGO members and relies upon an interdisciplinary perspective that includes not only law, but also sociology and political science.
