The past two to three decades have witnessed significant transformations in the way we live as societies and cultures worldwide have become increasingly interconnected through communication, transportation, and trade. The phenomenon of globalization has further accelerated the pace and scope of migration, leading to changes in migration patterns and the emergence of new migration phenomena. However, there is limited knowledge about the experiences of new migrants seeking access to welfare services in what has been recognized as a new era of migration: the era of super-diversity.

This book aims to be a pioneering work in its field, focusing on the current status and future implications of super-diversity and social welfare. It will delve into the profound impact of super-diversity on the delivery of social welfare across various social policy domains, providing insights into the lives of migrant communities. By examining the existing literature and empirical data, the book will not only outline the current perspectives and positions on super-diversity but also explore the potential trajectory of welfare systems and propose solutions by outlining mechanisms to address the challenges faced by migrants and providers operating in this era of super-diversity.

Uniquely, this book stands apart from any competing books that cover the topic of super-diversity and welfare provision. It will appeal to a diverse range of markets, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics interested in social policy-related research, policy makers, and practitioners. The book is written in a student-friendly and lecturer-friendly style, making it an invaluable teaching and research resource.

In conclusion, the past two to three decades have seen remarkable changes in the way we live and interact with one another. The phenomenon of globalization has played a pivotal role in shaping these transformations, and the era of super-diversity presents us with unique challenges and opportunities. This book aims to contribute to the understanding of these issues by providing a comprehensive analysis of super-diversity and social welfare, with a particular focus on the experiences of new migrants. It is a valuable resource for students, academics, policymakers, and practitioners alike.
