“…For instance, IC continues to frame most diversity debates in Latin American countries (Solano-Campos, 2013Tubino & Sinnigen, 2013), where it is even recognised constitutionally in some jurisdictions as is the case in Mexico. This debate has also been happening in Canada (Lashta et al, 2016), particularly Quebec (Bouchard, 2015;Gagnon & Iacovino, 2016), and Australia (Mansouri et al, 2017;Mansouri & Lobo, 2011) since the 1990s and even earlier (Delafenetre, 1997). However, IC still needs to articulate its distinct voice in the context of the well-established multicultural grand narrative that has dominated various diversity management contexts (Meer et al, 2016;Levrau & Loobuyck, 2018;Mansouri & Modood, 2020), even if multiculturalism has come under severe scrutiny recently, losing some of its centrality as a key diversity policy paradigm (Zapata-Barrero, 2019a).…”

Interculturalism (IC) is presently discussed as a foundational basis for local public policy aimed at managing migration-related diversity within ethno-culturally plural societies, especially at the local level. Despite its increased saliency over the last decade, IC is neither theoretically new nor was it always intended for mere application in strictly city contexts of diversity. Rather, it has a global origin as a political basis for international relations and negotiations. In discussing these origins, this article has two main interrelated aims. Firstly, it provides an overview of the multi-scale approach of IC, with the purpose of disentangling analytically the different empirical bases where it can frame the diversity agenda. Secondly, it explores whether a lack of appreciation and awareness of this multi-scale orientation may affect IC’s capacity to address the challenges of diversity governance at the local level. Methodologically, the article will undertake a textual analysis of a select number of leading documents framing its practice within the broader policy literature produced by the four main institutions that have advocated the intercultural approach within a global agenda. These are the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and United Nations University, on one hand, and the European Union and the Council of Europe on the other. The main findings show us the importance of a multi-scale thinking in diversity and IC studies, to avoid contributing to greater confusion in its applications.

The growing intellectual and policy debate around optimal approaches to diversity governance, particularly in relation to criticism of multiculturalism, is now entering a new phase characterised by advocating alternative conceptual and policy paradigms most notably interculturalism. Proposing a conceptual complementarity approach, rather than dogmatically oppositional stances, this paper approaches interculturalism as offering heuristic additive values to multiculturalism. As the paper shows, the Australian context indeed offers an optimal case study for conceptualising and engaging with interculturalism within an otherwise resilient multicultural framework. Australia’s unique and strong multicultural ethos has combined with successful intercultural strategies at different levels of diversity governance, policy and practice across various sectoral terrains. This paper uses an online national survey to examine the public understanding of and attitudes towards multiculturalism and interculturalism as supposedly distinct yet interconnected policy tools relating to the ever-changing diversity governance agenda.
