MULTICULTURALISM AND POLITICAL INTEGRATION IN EUROPEAN CITIES
Issue Editor: John Rex
The first issue of Innovation of Volume 9 deals with the subject of multiculturalism in cities with John Rex as guest editor. It represents the result of a comparative project undertaken in the framework of the COST programme to investigate the politics of multiculturalism in urban centres, albeit not necessarily the capitals alone. It includes reports from England on the cities of Birmingham and Bradford (John Rex and Yunas Sammad); the Netherlands on the cities of Rotterdam and Enschede (George Muskens); Belgium on the cities of Liege and Antwerp (Marco Martinnielo and Jan Blommaert); Austria on the cities of Graz, Linz and Vienna (Fritz Betz) and Switzerland on the city of Bern (Annemarie Sancar-Flückiger). Included is also an article of Michael Bommes and Frank Olaf-Radtke on the problems inherent in the provision of ‘multiculturalism’ by the welfare state as well as an article by Catherine Delcroix on the role of women as mediators of multiculturalism in various French cities.
