The problem of 'Multi-culture' is the subject of intense interest among lots of changes in the societies. The National Assembly is trying to legalize it and the mass media is also interested in 'Multi-culture'. In fact, however, there is few study and research of 'Multi-cultural legislation' including interdisciplinary research. About 'Multi-cultural legislation' there is only individual and fragmentary policy statement and it is just on the preliminaries not practical through the reasonable legislative assessment. In addition, people are not ready to understand it and respect cultural diversity. This collaboration is about 'Law and Policy in Multi-cultural society': it explain a basic understanding about Multi-cultural society from a variety cultural point of view and fundamental policy of Multi-cultural society as a uniform concept 'Multi-culrutalism'. For one year, about 'Multi-culture and Law: the basic study of Multi-cultural legislation', we have investigated the problems of law and policy related to Multi-cultural society through interdisciplinary research and tried to find detailed and practical legislative policy basics about it. Until now, the research of Multi-cultural legislation is treated individually such as support to multi-cultural families and study on foreign laws. But these legislations are not intimate because of different each purposes and sometimes have caused confusion partially. In other words, most studies have focused on foreigner's problems as attentions of Multi-culture not human rights or the legislative assessment of the Multi-cultural laws. In this reason, this collaboration also deals with them making up for the weak point in the humanities as well as the laws. That is, we have been trying to analyze and solve the problems of Multi-cultural society practically approaching the changes of the social structure. This research in the humanities supported the laws by explaining historical and social facts which are not revealed in the point of the laws. Of course there was academic limits because political and legislative discussions are not treated in the humanities but we have been trying to solve this problem through interdisciplinary research. Also, In this collaboration we have been trying to close to the multi-cultural legislations from the Multi-culturalism point of view with sufficient and positive documents and defining that it has been necessary to reveal new problems which was not treated before about multi-cultural legislations. Through this attempt, we also have been trying to establish a basis to be explained Multi-cultural legislative process in Korea and inspire the academic realities with legislative analysis of multi-cultural legislations. The result of collaboration is as in the following: We have suggested a unified standard of Multi-cultural legislations by analysis and evaluation about variety of understandings systematically, tried to improve the level of quality about multi-cultural legislations and the studies through the academical communication between foreign countries, and tried to help the potential for development of multi-cultural policies and legislations through the reasonable legislative assessment for solution of multi-cultural society specifically and practically. Also, definite results have been revealed in several types and these will be continuously.
