Integration and integration policies: IMISCOE network feasibility study

Abstract

"The feasibility study INTPOL has developed a conceptual frame for the analysis of integration processes and research The social integration of individual migrants into the institutions of the receiving society is differentiated from the effects of the social integration on the social structure of the receiving society and effects on the societal integration or cohesion of the receiving society. Social integration is understood as inclusion of indivudial migrants into the core institutions of the receiving society, with structural, cultural, interactive and identificative integration as dimensions of that process."
