How do the complexities of ethnic pluralism in Singapore affect social cohesion? The 12 contributions presented by the editor (a research fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, Singapore) explore that question with an eye to policy implications. The legal, institutional and political history of ethnic relations is examined before papers turn to more focused analysis of the impacts of ethnic pluralism in educational and social service settings.
