In related but distinct ways, each state is being challenged to devise policies and offer outcomes that address an unfolding and unsteady synthesis of issues relating to citizenship, the role of nation-states in a "borderless" world, and the management of economic change while preserving an enabling sense of national identity and social cohesion; Analyzing issues ranging from urban planning and the provision of broadcasting services for minority languages to principled debates over basic rights and entitlements, these essays offer penetrating summaries of each political culture while also prompting comparative reflection on the broad theme of "democracy and difference". Each author seeks to contribute to the discourse on applied public policy, governance, and post-nationalist politics. Their approaches, interpretations, and conclusions contribute a fresh perspective from societies that have often been inventive, or at least particularly pressured by their circumstances, in managing diversity."
