| Description | In this chapter I seek not only to deepen the debate surrounding intercultural policies, offering a theoretical framework centred on governance, but also to offer points of reflection at the city level, where most of the studies on interculturalism are deployed. In concrete terms, I propose an Intercultural Governance Index (IGI), which can allow us to infer an ideal type, in addition to highlighting significant variables and hypotheses. This exploratory study has been carried out in nine cities of the Spanish Network of Intercultural Cities (RECI). In accordance with a participative methodology, the cities have also contributed to the identification of minimum standards of intercultural governance.This chapter seeks to propose an Intercultural Governance Index (IGI), categorising a minimal set of standards, which can allow one to infer an ideal type, in addition to highlighting significant variables and hypotheses. It focuses on a study which has been carried out in nine cities of the Spanish Network of Intercultural Cities (RECI): Barcelona, Bilbao, Cartagena, Fuenlabrada, Getxo, Parla, Sabadell, San Sebastian, and Tenerife. People use as a point of departure a simple notion of governance as the body of instruments and devices of the government necessary to develop intercultural policies. Governance is a category that implies objectives and means for obtaining them. Concretely, it describes as much the exercise of decision-making as the capacity it has to act, taking into account the available institutional means. The concept is a useful descriptor of decision-making processes that involve the simultaneous mobilisation of public authorities, as well as that of non-governmental organisations and social movements.
