 Adaptation, Marketisation or Resilience? Multiculturalism in Local Practices at the Polish-Ukrainian BorderlandDariusz Wojciech Wojakowski
Chapter 17 in Resilience and the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood Countries, 2019, pp 515-539 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents how multiculturalism is used in the local policies of resilience in three towns located on the Polish-Ukrainian borderland. Local authorities in Poland use multiculturalism as a local brand. This leads to the appearance of an “industry of multiculturalism”, which is the form of the marketisation of culture. In Ukraine, multiculturalism is the bottom-up idea developed by the local non-governmental organisations. Local authorities were not interested in these practices prior to 2014. Since then, the new authorities have included multiculturalism to their own agenda. Multiculturalism at the local level in Poland and Ukraine is basically an adaptive resource. In recent years, the multicultural traditions have been used as a component of policies of resilience, which positively reshapes local communities and is tied into the democratic movements.
