It features contributions from scholars across the region, focusing on how DEII initiatives are influenced by legislative, political, social, patriarchal, religious, governance, and corporate factors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eWhile much of the existing DEII research has centered on mono-cultural, Western-oriented contexts—often referred to as “WEIRD” (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) nations—South Asian countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka remain under-researched. These multicultural developing economies, with diverse educational, democratic, and industrialization levels, have largely been neglected. This collection seeks to examine the applicability and relevance of current DEII knowledge within this distinct regional context. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eThe editors adopt a relational, multilevel framework, emphasizing that effective diversity management cannot be separated from its sociocultural and institutional environment.
