Abstract

In modern political discourse, there is rarely a concept that causes such violent reactions and polarized assessments as multiculturalism. The range of assessments of multiculturalism varies from the recognition of a multi-ethnic society as the optimal structural form to the main cause of the current crisis of European values. It is a fact that multiculturalism has turned from an abstract concept and some specific practice into an optimal model of the organizational form of European society. During the last decade, European politicians and experts have argued that multiculturalism in their countries has failed. Many do not agree with the retreat of multiculturalism although there is a broad consensus that we do indeed live in an era of post-multiculturalism.
