(CANADIAN) MULTICULTURALISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The paper sets out to discuss the European retreat from multiculturalism- the cases of the Netherlands and Great Britain (presented in Christian Joppke and Ewa Morawska (eds)'s volume Toward Assimilation and Citizenship, 2003) against the contrary opinion put forth in Will Kymlicka's Multiculturalism: Success, Failure and the Future (2012). It also examines the case of Canada taking into account the threats that terrorism poses to this policy, as they are exposed in Stewart Bell's writings, particularly in "The spillover effect: Canadian diasporas and terrorism"(2009), concluding that Canada has taken new security measures, but has remained committed to the policy of multiculturalism.
