Discussions on multiculturalism in the global age. An academic context. Part 2

Reviewing the key papers, devoted to the multiculturalism theme, the author identifies the most relevant contexts of the problem’s academic study. The author explores contemporary papers, devoted to the problem of multiculturalism, and studies in details both those ones that focus on finding adequate foundations for cultural policy and intercultural communication, as those papers, that are devoted to issues of integration policy and state-favored regimes, the legal and political status of multicultural groups and the format of their differences’ designation. The author's special attention is focused on the papers that clear the today’s «multiculturalism’s schools», the specifics of their methodology, as well as the theoretical and methodological apparatus.
