The book focuses on Asia and the Pacific, the most populous and economically vibrant part of the world. The heart of the book is a set of case studies of government policies in sixteen countries: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The studies consider a wide range of political, economic, educational, linguistic, and cultural policies, and evaluate how these policies have evolved over time. Using a broad comparative perspective to assess the effectiveness of different governmental approaches, the authors offer policy recommendations that cut across individual countries and regions. 0aMulticulturalismzAsia. 0aMulticulturalismzPacific Area. 0aAsiaxEthnic relationsxGovernment policy. 0aPacific AreaxEthnic relationsxGovernment policy. 0aAsiaxPolitics and governmenty1945- 0aPacific AreaxPolitics and government.1 aBrown, Michael E.q(Michael Edward),d1954-1 aGanguly, Sumit.
