Integration as a two-way process in the EU? Assessing the Relationship between the European Integration Fund and the Common Basic Principles on Integration. CEPS Paperbacks, July 2011
Get PDFThis report examines the nature, the limits and potential of the principle of integration as a two-way process of mutual accommodation between migrants and the receiving societies. It assesses the extent to which this key principle, which lays at the foundation of the EU framework on integration, is implemented in practice by investigating how it informs national programmes supported by the European integration fund.
The report stems from research undertaken by CEPS for the project “Integration as a two-way process in the EU? Assessing the European Integration Fund and the Common Basic Principles on Integration”. The research aims at identifying ways to enhance the use and oversight of European funding for the development of integration policies and activities at the national, regional and local levels.
The authors put forward recommendations for evidence-based policy-making within the EU framework on integration and for improving the use of European funding for integration measures at national level. The recommendations include concrete steps to ensure that European funding primarily serves to put into practice a European approach to integration that is understood as a two-way process in which not only migrants but also the receiving societies – including civil society, social partners and multi-level public authorities – participate and interact.
This report is divided into six sections. Section 2 outlines the scope and methodology
of our study. It first offers a synthesised summary of the main substantive and financial
components of the EU framework on integration. The section underlines the need to consider
the close connectivity between the CBPs and the EIF in determining the impact of the EU
framework on integration before presenting the specifics of our assessment.
Section 3 provides some observations regarding the national implementation of the
EIF, along with some of the most notable difficulties that have been identified as amounting
to barriers to accessing the EIF. It is based on the outcomes of the desk research and
consultation with the integration actors, which took place through a qualitative survey.
Section 4 assesses the ways in which the EIF has been used to support the integration
strategies developed within the member states. Important trends in the activities funded are
highlighted and the pitfalls of such usage are presented.
Section 5 is devoted to the two-way process tenet and to its possible practical
translations. After an overview of the emergence of this principle in EU policy, the relevance
of the EIF in supporting activities sustaining the principle is examined prior to an analysis of
what, according to prominent stakeholders, constitutes a two-way process of mutual
accommodation.
Section 6 concludes and puts forward a set of policy recommendations to facilitate the
promotion and application of the understanding of integration as a two-way process in the
EU through the EIF
"The end of national models? Integration courses and citizenship trajectories in Europe"
Get PDFSeveral European countries have recently introduced or are planning to introduce citizenship trajectories (voluntary or obligatory inclusion programs for recent immigrants) or citizen integration tests (tests one should pass to be able and acquire permanent residence or state citizenship). Authors like Joppke claim this is an articulation of a more general shift towards the logic of assimilation (and away from a multicultural agenda) in integration policy paradigms of European States. Integration policies would even be converging in such a fashion that it would no longer make sense to think in terms of national models for immigrant integration. One cannot deny the empirical fact of diffusion of civic integration policies throughout Europe. This paper claims there is, however, still sufficient distinctiveness between immigrant integration policies in order to continue and use an analytical framework which distinguishes national models
