Abstract
One of the most pressing issues in political and economic matters in the contemporary world is the question of how to address diversity in the manifold ways and contexts in which the concept is being applied today. In particular, highly developed countries such as the United States and Germany are struggling with how to approach diversity in accordance with principles of justice and democracy without having to risk the productivity of corporations, businesses, and other enterprises. As a matter of crucial salience, diversity speaks to academic, economic, political, and many other social actors on different levels. Accordingly, the particular structure of this collection of articles inspired by the 2016 academic conference on “Diversity in Culture, Institutions, and Business” intends to provide a platform for an exchange of ideas and knowledge between practitioners, scholars, entrepreneurs, politicians, and social activists involved in the praxis of diversity.
