Cultural Apogee or Nadir?: Auditing Australian MulticulturalismProf Andrew Jakubowicz. Since its adoption in 1978, Multiculturalism has been a defining label for Australian government policies on cultural group relations. In 2003, the Multiculturalism Minister suggested the term would disappear within another generation. This paper examines the goals set for the policy and the outcomes in a range of social and political fields. It is suggested that there are manifest and latent processes at work, that produce very different understandings of the results of policy. The analysis is set within an assessment of the Australian state in a system of global states.
