This idea has been resisted on the grounds that it might cause the IOP to lose its “identity.” But the Institute’s failure to inspire wide scale minority involvement clearly calls for a new strategy. The most recent initiative to establish ties with several black student groups, for example, will not get off the ground if the IOP continues to assert full control over its old “identity.” Fulfilling such a role need not diminish the IOP’s own priorities and programs; it would merely...

...growth slows down and powerful unions restrict access to low-skilled jobs, the groups in society most likely to get hurt are the poor and the marginalized. By refusing to recognize religious and ethnic diversity as an integral party of the new French nation, the government has only helped establish an atmosphere of distrust and fear. Instead of broadening economic opportunities, the French leadership has dragged its feet on economic reform and failed to broaden and deepen the common political and economic union across the continent...
