In recent times, public policies, both at national and supra-national (especially E.U.) level, have started a new path. Differently than in the past, the idea, according to which equality is not based only on protection against discrimination but also on promotion of diversity as a source of richness for society, is widely shared.
The Permanent Study Group on Administration, Diversity and Equal Treatment focuses on the rules, implementation tools and best practices, to ensure equal treatment and enhancement of diversity in administrative action. The main purpose is to develop and strengthen a fruitful dialogue between researchers and practitioners from different regions, in different fields (e.g.: law, management, sociology, anthropology, administrative sciences, political science, philosophy, education, etc.), as well as in their relationships with institutions and civil society. Bottom-up initiatives by civil society organisations, adopting a collaborative approach toward local and national administrations and inducing co-productive practices, will also be analysed.
