“…Among other themes, scholars have focused on the role that citizenship can and should play in protecting and including minority and migrant groups within multicultural societies (Gutmann 1992;Kymlicka 1995 Kymlicka , 1997Wieviorka 1998) This becomes even more clear if we look at specific issues of public policy that frame contemporary debates, such as the role of 'multiculturalism' in 5 contemporary societies. Christian Joppke, on the basis of a comparative analysis of recent trends in the United States, Germany and Britain has argued that contemporary debates about multiculturalism need to be understood against the background of social movements that demand equal rights and recognition for a range of social groups (Joppke 1996: 449).…”

“…Debates in Europe have tended to revolve around the nature of citizenship: whether national citizenship is being undermined by migration (Bauböck and Rundell 1998;Jacobson 1996;Joppke 1999a), whether it is being superceded by other forms of citizenship (Soysal 1994); its usefulness for migrants as a means acquiring cultural, economic, social and political rights (Castles and Davidson 2000;Cohen 1987;Favell 1998a; Koopmans and Statham 1998); and around its relationship to ethnicity (Peck 1992;Wieviorka 1998). In addition we have seen related debates emerge about the changing forms of national identity in the context of growing multiculturalism and contrasting claims to rights and representation by both minorities and majorities (Kymlicka 1995;Solomos 1998).…”

This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link IntroductionAn important underlying concern of the research we are conducting has been the need to explore the ways in which citizenship and identity have been shaped by migration patterns, and the ways in which migration policies and politics relating to minority and migrant groups have themselves been constructed in response to particular understandings of citizenship and national identity (Lessana 1998 The analysis in this paper is organised into four interlinked parts. The first explores the changing terms of some of those debates about citizenship and migration in contemporary European societies and outlines four analytical models that have been used to frame accounts of the position of migrants and minorities in the context of the changing role of the nation-state. We then move on to explore the implications of these analytical models for an analysis of the political and policy agendas about citizenship and immigration. This part draws on empirical examples from research in our four case study countries. In part four we take this analysis a step further by looking at the shifting boundaries of citizenship in the contemporary environment. Finally we conclude by highlighting some of the key themes that follow from the substantive parts of the paper, by focusing specifically on processes of exclusion and inclusion. Conceptual and Research AgendasWe begin by reviewing key conceptual debates that have shaped much of the recent research on the changing dynamics of citizenship, migration and 4 ethnicity in contemporary Europe. Among other themes, scholars have focused on the role that citizenship can and should play in protecting and including minority and migrant groups within multicultural societies (Gutmann 1992;Kymlicka 1995 Kymlicka , 1997Wieviorka 1998) This becomes even more clear if we look at specific issues of public policy that frame contemporary debates, such as the role of 'multiculturalism' in 5 contemporary societies. Christian Joppke, on the basis of a comparative analysis of recent trends in the United States, Germany and Britain has argued that contemporary debates about multiculturalism need to be understood against the background of social movements that demand equal rights and recognition for a range of social groups (Joppke 1996: 449). It is also clear that multiculturalism is inherently contradictory, both in conceptual and political terms, and is often the subject of intense political conflict and debate.Joppke goes on to argue that multiculturalism may be characterised as a 'politics of difference' that fuses egalitarian rhetoric with a stress on authenticity and rejection of Western universalism (Joppke 1996: 449). Any rounded analysis of citizenship and of inclusion and exclusion in Europe has to include a discussion of immigration controls, which are inseparable from the grounds for including some and excluding others. It is at the point ...

Австралийское правительство, выражая поддержку иммигрантов в их стремлении сохранить свои культурные и языковые традиции, вместе с тем всегда подчеркивало незыблемость культуры сложившегося общества и его политико-адми-нистративных институтов, а культурное разнообразие рассматривалось лишь как дополнение [11].…”

CONCERNING SOME REASONS FOR THE FAILURE OF THE POLICY OF MULTICULTURALISMSummary: The article analyzes a number of factors that have played an essential role in the failure of the policy of multiculturalism but which have not received sufficient attention in the scientific literature. Firstly, this is the predominance of the "procedural" issues over the conceptual ones in the theory of multiculturalism. It is emphasized that the multicultural theory focuses on procedural mechanisms while the ultimate goal is ambiguous. The authors explain this state of affairs by the desire to avoid the negative consequences of attempts to implement historicist ideologies in the last century, on the one hand, and the influence of postmodernist provisions on the absence of any objective criteria for assessing culture, the domination of the "philosophy of difference" over the "identity philosophy", on the other hand. Secondly, contrary to the declarative provisions, there is no principal novelty in the theory and policy of multiculturalism, because the evolution of this policy shows that it is finally transformed into a "soft" form of assimilation.

“…(Kenny, & Florida, 1993) Generally, higher education is seen to encourage more pluralistic, open societies. Empirically this can be seen through the data retrieved via the World Values Survey, which shows that whilst globally nationality is fundamental in shaping values within countries, higher education can have a significant effect on changing values (Wieviorka, 1997).…”

The article discusses the development of a multicultural environment as a factor of improving the well-being context and competitiveness of the higher education system. We believe that the scale of what is happening today in the world at different levels leads to a substantial change in national structure of Russia. Given an extensive review of the Russian and foreign literature on multiculturalism. The concept of Interculturalism, Polyculturalism and multiculturalism was reviewed. We also argue that the formation of the elite and the content of the state national policy are interrelated. We believe that, it is the level of higher education institutions, the results of their research and technology development activities, determines not only their place in the international rankings, but also the dynamics of economic and innovative development of individual territories and entire countries. The process of forming new paradigm to develop the role of higher education system, there are many factors effect on this process especially in some countries like Russia and Belarus.
