On a related theme, a global survey finds that the most generous foreign aid comes from the most homogenous countries, and that ethnic diversity hinders economic growth in all except a small number of wealthy societies. These results point to profound inconsistencies within ideologies of both left and right regarding ethnicity. The final chapters consider policy implications. At a time of economic globalization and mass migration, can generous and inclusive welfare be saved? Solutions and alternatives are discussed, ranging widely across: multiculturalism at state and international levels; assimilation; secession; ethnic federalism; the Swiss model; the European model; affirmative action (group rights); and strict individualist welfare. This book brings together a distinguished group of scholars: evolutionary biologists; political scientists; sociologists; anthropologists; economists; primatologists; and human ethologists. It breaks new ground in advancing our understanding of multicultural politics, ethnic competition and conflict.
This work applies the controversial theory of 'Ethnic Nepotism' to the modern welfare state, exposing profound inconsistencies within ideologies of both left and right regarding ethnicity.
