It records the proceedings of the second Cultural Traditions Group Conference at which individuals, drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and interests, debated the role of diverse traditions in the media, education, law and administration, sport, and business and commerce. Recommendations were made to government for development and change in these areas. In plural societies, where the variety of cultural traditions has the potential for fuelling antagonisms, the accommodation of differences is crucial. This book suggests ways, both institutional and informal, in which knowledge and appreciation of different traditions, can help remove fear, engender confidence and enrich community life. The keynote talk at this conference was given by the historian Professor Keith Robbins and the topics discussed included Literature, British Heritage and Republican Democracy, the Media, Localities and Political Tradition, Law and Administration, Business and Commerce and Sport.
