- Summary:
- Managing immigration and integration is one of the most vital and challenging tasks that the European Union is facing today. Since the Union's enlargement to include 25 members, the issue has become even more pressing. This book analyzes approaches, strategies, and best practices from EU Member States that could contribute to a sustainable integration policy. It thus provides European, national, regional, and local decision-makers with instruments they can draw on in establishing a European framework for integration.
- Authors include Antonio Vitorino, former EU Commissioner for Justice and Home Affairs, and Rita Sussmuth, former Chair of the Independent Council of Experts on Migration and Integration, appointed by the German government.
- The contents of this book reflect the outcome of a Bertelsmann Foundation project. This publication is a joint undertaking of the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Migration Policy Institute (MPI).
