The movement of Han Chinese into minority regions has been a long-standing pattern in China. However, China's minorities have taken longer to start moving in significant numbers and have now become part of a social change phenomenon, motivated by economic, social, and political factors. This book looks at how current changes in China are affecting the minority population. The case studies focus on how population shifts and the movement of China's minorities impact such issues as education, ethnic identity, the environment, local economy, labor, and regional development.

Südtirol ist ein Paradebeispiel für die friedliche Lösung von Minderheitenkonflikten. Sein Erfolg beruht auf einem komplexen Zusammenspiel von völker- und verfassungsrechtlichen Instrumenten und Schutzregelungen. Die Arbeit beleuchtet dieses facettenreiche Minderheitenschutzsystem in seiner Gesamtheit - vom österreichisch-italienischen Pariser Vertrag 1946 über den dazu vor der UNO entbrannten Streit bis hin zu den Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre. Als aktuelle Herausforderungen des Schutzsystems wird zudem erstmals analysiert, wer die deutsch- und die ladinischsprachige Minderheit heute in völkerrechtlicher Hinsicht vertreten darf, und wie die zahlreichen Einschränkungen der Autonomie, die das Land nach einer Reform der italienischen Verfassung im Jahr 2001 hinnehmen musste, wieder rückgängig gemacht werden können. Damit leistet die Arbeit nicht nur einen Beitrag zu aktuellen politischen Fragen, sondern dient zugleich auch als Handbuch zum Südtiroler Minderheitenschutzsystem.»South Tyrol's Minority Protection System. Fundamentals, Developments and Current Challenges from an International and Constitutional Law Perspective« South Tyrol is a model for the resolution of minority conflicts based on a complex interplay of international and constitutional law. This book sheds light on this minority protection system from the Austro-Italian Paris Agreement in 1946 up to the present and is thus a handbook for this system. In addition, it looks at who may represent the German and Ladin minorities under international law and how limitations of the autonomy after the 2001 reform of the Italian Constitution can be reversed.

The cultural diversity of university student populations can be seen to reflect the changing demographics of an increasingly international mobile workforce. The implications of the growing migrant population and differing communication patterns in the classroom is a highly under-researched area. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education provides a unique insight into the cultural experiences of university recounted through the students' narratives and voices.This book explores the increasingly culturally diverse composition of the student body and its impact on student learning. The need to negotiate differing cultural scripts and adapting to the new cultural landscape when students arrive at university are just a few of the experiences addressed within this important text. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education navigates the issue of curriculum delivery through the eyes of those who receive the education and questions whether a new approach is needed to adapt to an increasingly culturally diverse student body. The student experience is a central focus of this book, giving researchers, practitioners and leaders in education a unique perspective that will enable them to further understand the cultural framework that underpins Higher Education.
