diversity writ large

German translation: Diversität als bedeutendes Thema/Trend

Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
English term or phrase: diversity writ large
The sentence is this: "None of these criticisms has dealt a substantial blow to the diffusion and endorsement of diversity writ large."

The sentence is from an academic article about the emergence of "diversity" as a popular concept and the strategies of "diversity management" derived from it. The sentence refers to criticisms of the notion and approaches to diversity.

I have been kicking it around for a while but can't seem to come up with an idiomatic way of expressing "diversity writ large" in German. Does anyone have a suggestion? Would greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks a lot!

Popularität der Vielfalt


Explanation:
Ich denke, die Schwierigkeit kommt daher, dass endorsement und writ large irgendwie doppelt gemoppelt sind. Vielleicht geht es so rum:

Keiner dieser Kritikpunkte konnte der Popularität der Vielfalt, ihrer allseitigen Verbreitung und Wertschätzung einen spürbaren Schlag versetzen.

Wenn der Satz eher süffisant gemeint ist (mangels Kontext nicht ersichtlich), könnte statt Popularität auch ein Wort wie Glorienschein oder so was stehen.
