Full Description
Based on a cross-cultural approach to defining and implementing international standards of human and minority rights, this book aims to explore the most plausible way to enhance Sino-Western dialogue on minority rights.
Having identified and examined the ideological and practical difficulties that such dialogical events have encountered and will continue to encounter in the future, the book focuses particularly on the role of culture in intercultural communication and on analysing it in conjunction with the complex and intertwined impact of other forces, be they historical, political, social or emotional. The author has successfully found ways to overcome some of the difficulties and to further utilise intercultural dialogue as a conflict management strategy in the field of minority rights.
The book will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students, NGOs and policymakers in the fields of human and minority rights with a particular interest in multiculturalism, intercultural dialogue and human and minority rights in China.
