Ethics in Practice Diversity as Strategic Opportunity

This book explores the principle of equality, emphasizing both protection against discrimination and the promotion of diversity. It provides a multidisciplinary overview of methods and tools used by administrations to address practical diversity challenges. The principle of equality has always been considered as one of the fundamental values of modern societies; it compels administration to provide equal treatment to all subjects it enters in touch with, which is normally expressed as a general prohibition of discrimination. However, in recent times, 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. This book gives a multidisciplinary overview of some of the possible methods and tools which are nowadays experimented by administration, in order to properly face the practical problems connected to diversity.
