Ur inbjudan:
"The past decade has seen a shift in policies and discourse on immigrant integration. From the earlier emphasis on settlement services and employment, the new focus of integration in many countries seems to be the preservation of social cohesion, a mainstream national identity and culture, and mainstream core values. In a forward-looking manner, Integration Futures will explore several aspects of this theme, including:

•   the impact of immigration and citizenship policies on integration
•   the relationship between between integration and multiculturalism policies
•   the integration of the second generation: education, labour market and other outcomes
•   political integration – the ultimate indicator?
•   globalisation, transnationalism and integration, and
•   religion, secularism, and integration"
