Yet all too often it is referred to as a unifying concept, as if it were to be interpreted uniformly across all cultures and countries. The contributors to this volume expertly examine the relationship between diversity management and equality legislation within the different participating countries? national contexts. They advocate that such separation and sequencing between equality at work and diversity management is far from natural. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis important original reference work will enhance awareness of potential pitfalls in addressing diversity.

This \u003c\/i\u003eHandbook\u003ci\u003e covers no less than sixteen countries with a diverse range of issues, ranging from the caste system in India to the problems of migrants in the Netherlands.
