Differing diversities - Eastern European perspectives (2006)
Cultural diversity, in all its forms, is posing a profound challenge to traditional formulations of cultural policy and to our understanding of the public interests served by this policy. In most countries the artistic and cultural landscape has not evolved to reflect the realities of a changed social landscape. This rift threatens to undermine the legitimacy of cultural institutions and the public policy that supports them. The shift from homogeneity to diversity as the new social norm requires a rethinking of the processes, mechanisms and relationships necessary for democratic policy development in diverse societies.

Europe versus intolerance (Proceedings, Strasbourg, 3-4 March 1994)
Crisis of civilisation? Identity crisis? Crisis in European humanist values? Crisis of the state? Economic crisis? ... The seminar "Europe versus intolerance" surely raised more questions than it answered on an issue that human beings are constantly wondering about. The alarming accounts of the rise of exclusion and violence everywhere in Europe nevertheless made it possible to realise the urgency of the fight against intolerance which should be based on the following fundamental principles: the strengthening of democracy and human rights, the acceptance of the diversity of identities, the essential role played by education and the responsibility of the media.
