Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book, based on the Institute of Policy Studies' Ethnic Relations Project, aims to understand the current state and complexity of ethnic pluralism in Singapore, and to identify key trends and issues in various areas impacting ethnic pluralism and social cohesion. It also seeks to promote professional and public dialogue on important issues based on research findings and recommendations. In line with its aims, the book is problem- and policy-driven with a focus on policy implications and where policy meets culture, and each chapter concludes with general or specific policy recommendations towards improving ethnic relations and social cohesion. All the articles are based on empirical and scholarly research, employing multidisciplinary perspectives and a range of methodologies, and cover political history, legal-structural institutions, state policies, education, social services, media culture and community.
