These multicultural developing economies, with diverse educational, democratic, and industrialization levels, have largely been neglected. This collection seeks to examine the applicability and relevance of current DEII knowledge within this distinct regional context.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe editors adopt a relational, multilevel framework, emphasizing that effective diversity management cannot be separated from its sociocultural and institutional environment.
