Features: Among the five theoretical pillars of ethnic theory—ethnicity, ethnic issues, ethnic perspectives, ethnic equality and unity, and ethnic consciousness—the concept of ethnicity is introduced. It discusses ethnic issues in the era of globalization, expands the connotation of ethnic perspectives, defines the concept of ethnic unity, and highlights the spirit of the Chinese nation. In the ethnic regional autonomy policy system, the principle of ethnic autonomy from political science is introduced. In the ethnic economic policy system, ethnic development theory is introduced. In the ethnic education government system, ethnic quality theory is introduced. In the ethnic culture and customs policy system, diversity theory is introduced. In the religious policy system, religious belief theory is introduced. In the language and script policy system, cross-cultural communication theory is introduced. All these attempts aim to integrate theories related to ethnic theory and policy from relevant disciplines such as anthropology, ethnology, political science, psychology, and economics into the new textbook system. This is done to expand, enrich, and perfect the disciplinary connotation of ethnic theory, thereby demonstrating the innovation of this textbook.
China's contemporary ethnic policies have undergone historic changes over more than 20 years of reform and opening-up. Therefore, it is only natural for the newly compiled textbook to reflect and record new ethnic policies, ensuring that ethnic theory and policy textbooks keep pace with the times and embody the cutting-edge nature of this textbook.
