In this open access book, experts on integration processes,
integration policies, transnationalism, and the migration and
development framework provide an academic assessment of the 2011
European Agenda for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals,
which calls for integration policies in the EU to involve not only
immigrants and their society of settlement, but also actors in
their country of origin. Moreover, a heuristic model is developed
for the non-normative, analytical study of integration processes
and policies based on conceptual, demographic, and historical
accounts. The volume addresses three interconnected issues: What
does research have to say on (the study of) integration processes
in general and on the relevance of actors in origin countries in
particular? What is the state of the art of the study of
integration policies in Europe and the use of the concept of
integration in policy formulation and practice? Does the proposal
to include actors in origin countries as important players in
integration policies find legitimation in empirical research? A few
general conclusions are drawn. First, integration policies have
developed at many levels of government: nationally, locally,
regionally, and at the supra-national level of the EU. Second, a
multitude of stakeholders has become involved in integration as
policy designers and implementers. Finally, a logic of
policymaking-and not an evidence-based scientific argument-can be
said to underlie the European Commission's redefinition of
integration as a three-way process. This book will appeal to
academics and policymakers at international, European, national,
regional, and local levels. It will also be of interest to graduate
and master-level students of political science, sociology, social
anthropology, international relations, criminology, geography, and
history.
