Traditionally the minority rights standards developed in the framework of international organizations and the related supervisory practice were more focused on political participation, and its various dimensions, than on socio-economic participation. However, questions of socio-economic participation, inclusion and integration of minorities has increasingly come to the forefront. This is understandable since it is hard to miss that minorities are often seriously disadvantaged in this respect, at times also triggering social unrest.

This edited volume sets out to unravel various dimensions of a particular topical question pertaining to minorities and minority protection, which has not been explored yet, more particularly the socio-economic participation of minorities in relation to their right to (respect for) identity. This interrelation and interaction is studied from a multi-disciplinary perspective, spanning a broad range of disciplines, while drawing on a rich variety of case studies covering various corners of the world. This interrelation manifests itself in distinctive ways for religious minorities, ethnic minorities, and indigenous peoples. As it is impossible to provide a comprehensive coverage, this volume aims to offer a range of articles that reveal the breadth of the theme under review, while combining theoretical analysis with fascinating case studies.

In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

This piece deals with the integration of "new minorities" in Western Europe in light of recent debates on multiculturalism and a perceived policy shift against such policies. I briefly analyze some of the implications of the policy shift, in light of three themes often found in narratives on multiculturalism and integration: first, the existence of relevant coincidences between socio-economic and cultural groups (pertinent in the case of migrants); secondly, a linkage between socio-economic participation with cultural accommodation policies which I consider as a principle necessary; and thirdly a possible relation between socio-economic integration, cultural accommodation and the prevention of collective violence.I argue that better definition of terms and a calibration of the 'cultural lenses' through which groups are understood would improve the debate on multicultural policies in relation to migrant integration. In practical terms, it would facilitate a more rigorous evaluation of the impact of these policies. From a normative perspective, human rights principles such as freedom of opinion are necessary to balance multicultural policies in relation to migrant integration. In addition, I reflect briefly on migration policy issues from a human security standpoint.
