Abstract
This study wants to see the presence of foreign workers in the Serang-Cilegon. So far, existing studies view the relationship between them as a conflictual relationship using a structuralist or security approach. This article offers a multiculturalism approach in understanding the interaction between them. By using the political recognition strategy, we hoped that the potential conflicts could be minimized. Then we can design a conflict prevention model. Qualitative research with a case study approach was chosen as the research method. Data was collected through a literature study of several relevant references. The findings show that their interaction can trigger tensions that lead to conflict, especially regarding economic and socio-cultural issues. This effect happens because of the weak state control in regulating foreign workers and managing differences. The prevention model offered is a multiculturalism approach, which creates a politics of recognition in the community through a willingness to accept diversity.
