Dear colleagues,

I am happy to announce the third volume devoted to equality and diversity management internationally, with Edward Elgar Publishing.

This Research Handbook of International and Comparative Perspectives on Diversity Management offers, for the first time, a comparative approach to current diversity management concerns facing nations. It is the third of a series of handbooks dedicated to diversity and equality internationally. The first two volumes were devoted to "Country Perspectives on Diversity and Equal Treatment " (published in 2010 and 2014 by Edward Elgar).

This new volume spans 19 countries and across Africa, it covers age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, national origin and the intersection of various dimensions of diversity. The multicultural and multi-country teams of contributors, leading scholars in their own countries, examine how the various actors react, adopt and manage the different dimensions of diversity, from a multitude of approaches, from national to sectoral and from tribes to trade unions, but always with a comparative, multi-country perspective.

This book represents the efforts of multicultural and multi-country teams of contributors who are prominent diversity scholars in their respective countries. Offering comparative approaches to diversity management and comparative public policy on multiculturalism, it explores comparisons at both the macro-environmental and meso-organizational levels. Topics covered include pan-African tribal diversity management, diversity in the South Pacific, youth labour market exclusion and LGBTQ rights in selected countries.

Kind regards,

Alain Klarsfeld
