Minority hostility and resistance: The interplay between majority rejection and minority goals

我们目前的理论不能告诉我们少数人对多数人的敌意的前因后果，少数人激进化的原因，以及对多数人规范的蔑视。迫切需要审查这些问题，因为对少数民族敌意的恐惧（无论是真实的还是想象的）可能导致内乱和少数民族与多数民族之间关系的破裂。该研究的独特价值在于解决日常社会中的重要社会问题和关注点，其结果将为政策制定提供信息。此外，这项研究有助于提高澳大利亚在这一领域的智力领导地位，提供研究培训，并加强现有的合作网络。

Our current theorizing cannot inform us about the antecedents of minority hostility towards majorities, the causes of minority radicalisation, and defiance of majority norms. There is an urgent need to examine these issues because fears of minority hostility (whether real or imagined) may lead to civil unrest and the breakdown of relationships between minorities and majorities. The unique value of the research lies in addressing an important social issue and concern in everyday society and its outcomes will inform policy development. In addition, the research helps to advance Australia's intellectual leadership position in this area, provides research training, and strengthens existing collaborative networks.
