This book is open access under a CC BY license. Japan has recently promoted a number of initiatives that can be termed an opening to the world and the AsiaPacific in particular. These have origins in Japans globalization generally and multicultural policies more specifically. The chapters in this book are grouped in three partstheories, language, and migrationand they explicate details of multiculturalism in the AsiaPacific, largely focused on Japan, but including cases that extend beyond Japan as well. Alternative understandings based on analyzing conflicts and moving towards reconciliation underscore the urgency of viewing multiculturalism in Japan and the AsiaPacific from perspectives that are firmly based in the region. Themes such as immigration, identity, foreign language education, politics and language, English language policies, dual citizenship, foreign labor policies and movements, and higher education are all addressed in the individual chapters. This book will be of interest to scholars of multiculturalism in a wide variety of fields. | Kosuke Shimizu Multiculturalism & Conflict Reconciliation in the Asia-Pacific
