Book excerpt: Jackson, Simon Fraser University [email protected] This project will examine issues of social cohesion in the context of the experiences of girls and young women from recent and established immigrant and refugee communities. [...] It will also pinpoint a broad range of cultural, social and economic factors that explain the resilience of Inuit peoples and the social institutions that have enabled them to resist the globalizing forces driving economic, social and cultural homogenization. [...] The research team will take a comparative international approach, using data from six countries, and will strengthen understanding of the policy requirements for building and protecting social cohesion in Asia and Canada. [...] This study will: increase understanding of social cohesion at regional and farm community levels; develop policy recommendations on community leadership, education and training, the role of women, the role of civil society community organizations, and environmental adaptation; and identify indicators of social cohesion that can be monitored to assess trends and impacts of activities. [...] Reimer, Concordia University This project examines changes in social cohesion among five aspects of rural life: its economy, formal and informal services, social and political participation, communication infrastructure, and the capacity of communities to deal with social and economic stresses.

Download or read book Multiculturalism and Social Cohesion written by Jeffrey G. Reitz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does multiculturalism ‘work’? Does multiculturalism policy create social cohesion, or undermine it? Multiculturalism was introduced in Canada in the 1970s and widely adopted internationally, but more recently has been hotly debated, amid new concerns about social, cultural, and political impacts of immigration. Advocates praise multiculturalism for its emphasis on special recognition for cultural minorities as facilitating their social integration, while opponents charge that multiculturalism threatens social cohesion by encouraging social isolation. Multiculturalism is thus rooted in a theory of human behaviour, and this book examines the empirical validity of some of its basic propositions, focusing on Canada as the country for which the most enthusiastic claims for multiculturalism have been made. The analysis draws on the massive national Ethnic Diversity Survey of over 41,000 Canadians in 2002, the most extensive survey yet conducted on this question. The analysis provides a new and more nuanced understanding of the complex relation between multiculturalism and social cohesion, challenging uncritically optimistic or pessimistic views. Ethnic community ties facilitate some aspects of social integration, while discouraging others. For racial minorities, relations within and outside minority communities are greatly complicated by more frequent experiences of discrimination and inequality, slowing processes of social integration. Implications for multicultural policies emphasize that race relations present important challenges across Quebec and the rest of Canada, including for the new religious minorities, and that ethnic community development requires more explicit support for social integration.

[...] Citizenship Regime • By the concept of citizenship regime we mean the institutional arrangements, rules and understandings that guide and shape concurrent policy decisions and expenditures of states, problem definitions by states and citizens, and claims-making by citizens. [...] • A citizenship regime encodes within it a paradigmatic representation of identities, of the "national" as well as the "model citizen," the "second-class citizen," and the non-citizen.

Download or read book Social Cohesion in Australia written by James Jupp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia's reputation as a successful large scale immigrant-receiving nation is well formed. In the latest wave, not only have millions of diverse people arrived in the post-war period from 1945 to a growing, high income, good employment economy; but the society absorbing them has remained stable and cohesive. This is not to say that it has been entirely plain sailing - sensitive debate, isolated interethnic violence, and the degree of migrant ghettoisation have been prominent, though varying in intensity over time. But overall, the planned program of immigration and settlement by Australia's governments over the years has been successful. This volume examines key elements of the means by which social cohesion can be constructively sought in Australia. With contributions from some of Australia's leading experts in this field, this book addresses the key concern: what are the threats to Australia's social cohesion and how can they be countered?

Book excerpt: The second part of the paper begins from the observation that there is no unanimous position on whether social cohesion is a cause or a consequence of other aspects of social, economic and political life. [...] Overall, the major change in the literature, that treats social cohesion as a consequence, has been the increased attention to the capacity of well- designed strategic action to foster social cohesion. [...] The other way to treat social cohesion is to emphasize "what it does." The focus is no longer on the fragility of social cohesion but on its contribution to or implications for growth, well-being, and participation. [...] By far the most important definition of social cohesion used in these studies is one that treats social capital and social networks as the constitutive element. [...] The purpose of the conference is to overview developments and accomplishments of the social and behavioural sciences during the last fifty years, and to look forward to future developments and dialogue with users of social science knowledge at national and international levels.
