Managing contemporary diversity II: Trends in integration policy from the national to the local level

26 Março 2021, 16:00 • Jennifer Leigh McGarrigle Montezuma de Carvalho

Managing contemporary diversity II: Trends in integration policy from the national to the local level
Key questions explored in the theory class:
1.Why have most “national models” in Western Europe been criticized and accused of failing?  2.Why is diversity increasingly portrayed as negative at the national level and positive at the local level?  (Interculturalism)  3.How does the local level offer opportunities for the inclusion of migrants? What are the benefits of diversity for the city?

Beyond national models: move to neo assimilationism
Civic integration as a dominant approach
‘Local turn’ in integration policy
Intercultural/ diversity turn
