ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the ways in which anti-racism is developing in civil society and as a social movement at a time of momentous change. European economic, social and political integration has had a major impact on the issues facing anti-racists and the way in which they organise. While the main themes of the 1990s have been the increase in racism and xenophobia and the harmonisation of immigration controls, attention must now turn to the democratic deficiencies of the new systems of global governance.
