다문화주의에 대한 대안으로서의 범문화주의 거버넌스 연구 = Limitations of Multiculturalism Governance and Omniculturalism as an Alternative

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to analyze the limitations and causes of failure of existing multicultural governance and to explore the potential of Omniculturalism as an alternative approach.
Through a comprehensive literature review, this research examines the key debates surrounding multiculturalism and intercultural governance. The findings indicate that while existing models have contributed to the recognition of diversity, they reveal regional limitations and a lack of theoretical relevance. In particular, it is found that European multiculturalism stemmed from a lack of empathy within mainstream civil society and policies driven primarily by political ideology. Recently proposed Omniculturalism begins from the universality and commonalities shared among cultures, seeking to resolve conflicts arising from diversity and to integrate various discourses on multiculturalism into a more inclusive theoretical framework. By prioritizing education as the primary means, it pursues the goals of multicultural governance—protecting the rights of minority groups and enhancing social cohesion—while promoting broader social integration. Ultimately, Omniculturalism can be established as an academic and policy-oriented alternative that enables peaceful coexistence and democratic development in multicultural societies. Accordingly, this study presents Omniculturalism as a new paradigm that embraces theoretical discussions of multicultural societies while constructing a sustainable policy framework. It further discusses the essence and practical feasibility of Omniculturalism and explores its potential applicability in the Korean context.
