Preview The Local Dimension of Migration Policymaking (Amsterdam University Press - IMISCOE Reports)

Description:
This searching study offers a fresh perspective on the immigrant integration policy in European and North American cities. Revealing just where and how immigrants and their receiving societies interact on a daily basis, the authors show how societal inclusion operates at a local level in a wide range of major urban settings. The individual chapters focus on three particular areas of migration policy - citizenship, welfare services and religious diversity - and consider individual cities in their very different national contexts. Spanning Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, the case studies display a great variety in their methodological approaches, while demonstrating the relevance of the local level whatever the differences in state structures, models of integration and centre-peripheral relations. This complex comparative exercise yields important general insights into immigration policies at work, which responsible policymakers cannot ignore.
