Intercultural communication has become an important topic in many fields of work and study. Given the complexities of globalization, knowledge of cultures and cultural differences is rarely sufficient.

The authorsdescribe what diversity competence entails: which processes, challenges and skills are relevant in a "superdiverse" world. They demonstrate how the TOPOI model (a systemic framework of points of attention and interventions for diversity-sensitive communication) offers an inclusive, communicative approach to analyzing and addressing potential miscommunication.
