Summary:
The Human Development Report 2004 debunks myths that regard diversity
as a threat to nations and states, the source of inevitable clashes,
and an obstacle to development. It asserts that struggles over
economic resources and political power, not diversity, are most often
at the root of conflict. The Report opens with an analysis of the
vital links between human development and cultural liberty by Nobel
Laureate Amartya Sen. It goes on to examine issues that the dynamics
of globalization have brought to the forefront of policy agendas in
rich and poor countries alike: migration, predatory extremism, and
the expansion of cultural diversity. Drawing on data from national
and local governments around the world, it proposes evidence-based
constitutional, juridical, and socioeconomic policy options to
promote cultural liberty and multicultural democracy in the context
of universally accepted human rights.
