Modern neo-liberal governments striving to address cross-cultural conflicts will often seek to formulate a 'just society'. At issue however, it is argued here, is the question of identity and ‘identity security’. This paper seeks to study whether or not government-sponsored community-based cross-cultural conflict resolution (CBCCCR) policies address communal identity (in)security conflicts. Policies from Canada, the United States of American, and the United Kingdom focusing on addressing community–based cross-cultural conflicts are examined to clarify what parts of a policy are effective as conflict resolution mechanisms for CBCC conflicts. It is hoped that these findings will contribute recommendations for policy makers designing CBCCCR policy interventions.
