This book offers an empirically-based view on Europeans'
interconnections in everyday life. It looks at the ways in which EU
residents have been getting closer across national frontiers: in
their everyday experiences of foreign countries - work, travel,
personal networks - but also their knowledge, consumption of
foreign products, and attitudes towards foreign culture. The book
considers how people reconcile their increasing cross-border
interconnections and a politically separating Europe of nation
states and national interests.
This open access book critically re-examines the theoretical and
empirical interconnections between integration and citizenship,
specifically, naturalisation. With new, empirical-grounded analyses
of what we term 'citizenship-integration nexus' the central, shared
contribution is showcasing how membership is informally achieved
through everyday integration —usually around, but sometimes in
spite of, formal citizenship requirements. By providing evidence of
a nexus disjuncture, the book contributes to critical dialogues on
immigrant integration and political incorporation, relevant for
policymakers, civil society actors, and academics alike.

In this rich study, Roxana Barbulescu examines the transformation
of state-led immigrant integration in two relatively new
immigration countries in Western Europe: Italy and Spain. The book
is comparative in approach and seeks to explain states' immigrant
integration strategies across national, regional, and city-level
decision and policy making. Barbulescu argues that states pursue no
one-size-fits-all strategy for the integration of migrants, but
rather simultaneously pursue multiple strategies that vary greatly
for different groups. Two main integration strategies stand out.
The first one targets non-European citizens and is assimilationist
in character and based on interventionist principles according to
which the government actively pursues the inclusion of migrants.
The second strategy targets EU citizens and is a laissez-faire
scenario where foreigners enjoy rights and live their entire lives
in the host country without the state or the local authorities
seeking their integration. The empirical material in the book,
dating from 1985 to 2015, includes systematic analyses of
immigration laws, integration policies and guidelines, historical
documents, original interviews with policy makers, and statistical
analysis based on data from the European Labor Force Survey. While
the book draws on evidence from Italy and Spain in an effort to
bring these case studies to the core of fundamental debates on
immigration and citizenship studies, its broader aim is to
contribute to a better understanding of state interventionism in
immigrant integration in contemporary Europe. The book will be a
useful text for students and scholars of global immigration,
integration, citizenship, European integration, and European
society and culture.
