The Australian model of immigration and multiculturalism:  is it applicable to Europe?
"The aim of this article is to examine the experience of Australia with regard to immigration and ethnic diversity since 1945, and to discuss the relevance of this experience for Western Europe."  The author finds that "since 1945, over 5 million settlers have come from many different countries, leading to a situation of great cultural diversity.... Over the last twenty years, a policy of multiculturalism has emerged, giving rise to several special institutions.  This has had profound effects both on social policy and on concepts of national identity. The relevance of the Australian model for Western Europe is discussed."
