1. INTRODUCTION
The Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy at Queen's University is organizing a multi-year research project on citizenship, democracy and minority rights in multiethnic states, under the direction of Prof. Will Kymlicka. As part of this project the Forum distributes a quarterly newsletter updating recent developments in the field, of which this is the eighteenth issue. We hope that it will be of interest to anyone working in the field, whether in academia, public service, or various non-governmental organizations.
If you know anyone who would like to be added to the mailing list for this newsletter, or if you would like copies of the back-issues, please contact us at cded@post.queensu.ca . For further information about the research project, you can also reach us by fax at 613-533-6545. Back-issues of the newsletter are posted on this web site (see links below).

6. RELATED RESEARCH PROGRAMS
The Ethnic, Immigration, and Pluralism Studies program at the University of Toronto promotes interdisciplinary research on ethnic diversity and interethnic group relations in Canadian society in a comparative context and offers a collaborative program that allows students to work towards an interdisciplinary specialization at the Master's as well as Doctoral level. Participating departments and faculties include Anthropology, Geography, History, Industrial Relations, Political Science, Sociology, and others. For more information on this collaborative program, contact the Program Administrator Elizabeth Thompson, Robert F.

The Key Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice
and Governance in Queensland, Australia has started a major research program
on "Citizenship and Governance in a Changing Global Order", under
the direction of Charles Sampford. In addition, the centre pursues
a program on "Indigenous People and the Governance of Society", directed
by Prof. Ciaran O'Faircheallaigh. This program considers the ways in which
indigenous peoples have governed, and continue to govern, their communities
and reflects on the underlying foundational values and concepts of community.
In so doing, it asks what insights these values might offer for western
governance, and offers indigenous lawyers the opportunity to consider what
elements of western notions of governance might be useful for the development
of indigenous governance. For more information, contact Barbara Johnstone,
