Intercultural dialogue (ICD) refers to a process of contact, interaction and exchange of views on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual understanding between individuals or groups from diverse backgrounds. A large body of research has discussed ICD and its potential value for fostering social cohesion and peaceful coexistence across difference. However, there is a lack of robust benchmark data that precludes researchers and practitioners from empirically testing assumptions and hypotheses pertaining to ICD. This article discusses the development of the Intercultural Dialogue Index (ICDI), a proposed composite index for measuring the extent to which ICD is being pursued and implemented as a diversity management tool within different countries. The index builds on the conceptual assumptions underpinning ICD, uses publicly accessible data, and applies methods that allow for replication, upgrading and comparability with relevant indices. This article assesses ICD prevalence for 51 countries based on three interrelated dimensions covering legislative and structural environments as well as opportunities for intercultural encounters. Altogether, 31 indicators across the three dimensions are identified and grouped under 10 broad components to capture both macro- and micro-level factors affecting ICD and intergroup relationships nationally and globally. The article briefly summarises some preliminary ICDI findings and discusses key methodological constraints and conceptual challenges. Theoretical and practical implications of ICDI are also provided.

跨文化对话指数(ICDI):评估跨文化关系的指数

跨文化对话(ICD)是指来自不同背景的个人或群体在平等,尊重和相互理解的基础上进行接触,互动和交换意见的过程。大量研究讨论了ICD及其对促进社会凝聚力和不同地区之间和平共处的潜在价值。但是,由于缺乏可靠的基准数据,研究人员和从业人员无法通过经验检验与ICD有关的假设和假设。本文讨论了文化间对话指数(ICDI)的发展,该指数是一种拟议的综合指数,用于衡量在不同国家中ICD被作为多样性管理工具进行和实施的程度。该索引基于ICD的概念性假设,使用可公开访问的数据,并采用允许与相关索引进行复制,升级和可比性的方法。本文根据三个相互关联的维度(包括立法和结构环境以及跨文化交流的机会)评估了51个国家的ICD患病率。总共确定了这三个方面的31个指标,并归纳为10个主要组成部分,以捕捉影响国家和全球ICD和群体间关系的宏观和微观因素。本文简要总结了ICDI的一些初步发现,并讨论了关键的方法学限制和概念挑战。还提供了ICDI的理论和实践意义。本文根据三个相互关联的维度(包括立法和结构环境以及跨文化交流的机会)评估了51个国家的ICD患病率。总共确定了这三个方面的31个指标,并归纳为10个主要组成部分,以捕捉影响国家和全球ICD和群体间关系的宏观和微观因素。本文简要总结了ICDI的一些初步发现,并讨论了关键的方法学限制和概念挑战。还提供了ICDI的理论和实践意义。本文根据三个相互关联的维度(包括立法和结构环境以及跨文化交流的机会)评估了51个国家的ICD患病率。总共确定了这三个方面的31个指标,并归纳为10个主要组成部分,以捕捉影响国家和全球ICD和群体间关系的宏观和微观因素。本文简要总结了ICDI的一些初步发现,并讨论了关键的方法学限制和概念挑战。还提供了ICDI的理论和实践意义。确定了这三个方面的31个指标,并将其分为10个主要组成部分,以捕获影响国家和全球ICD和群体间关系的宏观和微观因素。本文简要总结了一些ICDI的初步发现,并讨论了关键的方法学限制和概念挑战。还提供了ICDI的理论和实践意义。确定了这三个方面的31个指标,并将其分为10个主要组成部分,以捕获影响国家和全球ICD和群体间关系的宏观和微观因素。本文简要总结了ICDI的一些初步发现,并讨论了关键的方法学限制和概念挑战。还提供了ICDI的理论和实践意义。
