This book explores how governments in multi-level states coordinate
immigrant integration policies. It sheds light on how the
decentralization of immigrant integration to substate regions can
lead to conflict or cooperation, and how a variety of factors may
shape different approaches to migrants. Immigrant integration is an
increasingly important policy area for governments. However, in
multi-level states, immigrant integration is rarely the
responsibility of the 'central' government. Instead, it is often
decentralized to substate regions, which may have formulated their
own, unique approaches. The way in which migrants are included into
one part of a state may therefore be radically different from the
experiences of migrants in another. How do multi-level states deal
with potentially diverging approaches? This book examines how
governments coordinate on immigrant integration in multi-level
states. Four multi-level states form the backbone of the analysis:
two of which are federal (Canada and Belgium) and two that are
decentralized (Italy and Spain). We find that intergovernmental
dynamics on immigrant integration are shaped by a variety of
factors ranging from party politics to constitutional power
struggles. This analysis contributes not only to our understanding
of intergovernmental relations in multi-level systems; it also
enhances our knowledge of the myriad ways in which different
regions seek to include migrants into their societies, economies
and political systems. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Regional and Federal Studies.
