Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Integration Requirements for Immigrants in Europe: A Legal-Philosophical Inquiry by Tamar de Waal
This book considers three claims about integration requirements as conditions for attaining increased rights (ie family migration permanent residency and citizenship) in Europe:(1) That the recent proliferation of these integration requirements is rooted in a shift towards ‘individualised’ conceptions of integration.(2) That this shift puts up barriers to participation and inclusion of newcomers and produces status hierarchies between native-born and immigrant citizens.(3) That the remedy is a firewall disconnecting integration policy from access to rights.Drawing on perspectives on immigrant integration in multiple EU Member States the book includes legal and political reactions to the refugee/migrant crisis.
