This Introduction guides the reader through the special section "Social Integration in EU Law: Contents, Limits and Functions of an Elusive Notion". The Authors underline the multi-faceted essence of ...this concept, which has both an integrative potential and a defensive function. Social integration is closely connected to the enjoyment of rights: the higher the degree of integration is, the more rights a person benefits from. However, the recent practice of the European institutions and the Member States reveal that a lack of integration can be a powerful tool for managing intra-EU mobility and migrations flows from third countries.
This book examines the role and impact of EU, international human rights and refugee law on national laws and policies for integration and argues for a broad understanding of the relationship between ...integration and the law. It analyses the legal foundations of integration at the international and regional levels and examines the interaction of national, EU and international legal spheres. The book draws together these central themes to enhance our understanding of the connections between integration and the law. It also makes specific recommendations for the development of holistic, human-rights based approaches to integration in EU Member States.
We argue that support for parties of the radical right and left can usefully be understood as a problem of social integration—an approach that brings together economic and cultural explanations for ...populism. With comparative survey data, we assess whether support for parties of the radical right and left is associated with feelings of social marginalization. We find that people who feel more socially marginal—because they lack strong attachment to the normative order, social engagement, or a sense of social respect—are more likely to be alienated from mainstream politics and to support radical parties. We also find an association between indicators for recent economic and cultural developments often said to affect social status and feelings of social marginalization, especially among people with low incomes or educational attainment. We conclude that problems of social integration and subjective social status deserve more attention from scholars of comparative political behavior.
This article focuses on how newcomers form social relations when settling in the UK, and the role of these relations in regards to their sense of belonging as well as access to resources that support ...integration. By bringing together the concept of social integration with scholarship on embedding and sociabilities of emplacement, the article demonstrates how a combination of serendipitous encounters, ‘crucial acquaintances’ and more enduring friendships with other migrants, co-ethnics and members of the majority population support migrants’ settlement. Drawing on two qualitative studies on migrant settlement, it shows the importance of social relations with other migrants during settlement, and subsequently critically reflects on how the notion of ‘bridging social capital’ has been used in policy discourse. By doing so, the article contends that the notion of ‘integration’ needs to reflect the social ‘unit’ into which migrants are supposed to integrate.
This book traces the global, national, and local origins of the conflict between Muslims and Jews in France, challenging the belief that rising anti-Semitism in France is rooted solely in the ...unfolding crisis in Israel and Palestine. Maud Mandel shows how the conflict in fact emerged from processes internal to French society itself even as it was shaped by affairs elsewhere, particularly in North Africa during the era of decolonization.
Mandel examines moments in which conflicts between Muslims and Jews became a matter of concern to French police, the media, and an array of self-appointed spokesmen from both communities: Israel's War of Independence in 1948, France's decolonization of North Africa, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the 1968 student riots, and François Mitterrand's experiments with multiculturalism in the 1980s. She takes an in-depth, on-the-ground look at interethnic relations in Marseille, which is home to the country's largest Muslim and Jewish populations outside of Paris. She reveals how Muslims and Jews in France have related to each other in diverse ways throughout this history--as former residents of French North Africa, as immigrants competing for limited resources, as employers and employees, as victims of racist aggression, as religious minorities in a secularizing state, and as French citizens.
InMuslims and Jews in France, Mandel traces the way these multiple, complex interactions have been overshadowed and obscured by a reductionist narrative of Muslim-Jewish polarization.

Apresenta pesquisa realizada com bibliotecários que atuam ou atuaram no sistema prisional brasileiro, para possibilitar à população privada de liberdade o acesso ao livro, a leitura, a informação, a ...construção de significados e apropriação da informação. Trata-se de estudo exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa. Como instrumento de coleta de dados utilizamos o questionário elaborado no Google Forms e enviado por e-mail aos bibliotecários. Para analisar os dados, nos pautamos na análise de conteúdo por meio do estabelecimento de categorias. Os resultados demonstram, que a maioria dos bibliotecários acreditam construir ações de mediação da informação no ambiente prisional, e consideram que esse processo pode favorecer a reinserção social do(a) apenado(a), mesmo aqueles que são reticentes quanto à estrutura da prisão não contribuir para a reinserção social, apresentam discurso favorável sobre a relevância do bibliotecário pautar suas ações na mediação da informação ao atuar nesse ambiente. Concluímos que, mesmo diante dos desafios e especificidades da atuação nesse ambiente, a mediação da informação pode ser considerada como uma prática de desconstrução e reconstrução, pois pode favorecer a pessoa presa a vislumbrar novos horizontes, se perceber como sujeito crítico por meio da apropriação da informação.
Young people are told that college is a place where they will "find themselves" by engaging with diversity and making friendships that will last a lifetime. This vision of an inclusive, diverse ...social experience is a fundamental part of the image colleges sell potential students. But what really happens when students arrive on campus and enter this new social world? "The Cost of Inclusion" delves into this rich moment to explore the ways students seek out a sense of belonging and the sacrifices they make to fit in. Blake R. Silver spent a year immersed in student life at a large public university. He trained with the Cardio Club, hung out with the Learning Community, and hosted service events with the Volunteer Collective. Through these day-to-day interactions, he witnessed how students sought belonging and built their social worlds on campus. Over time, Silver realized that these students only achieved inclusion at significant cost. To fit in among new peers, they clung to or were pushed into raced and gendered cultural assumptions about behavior, becoming "the cool guy," "the nice girl," "the funny one," "the leader," "the intellectual," or "the mom of the group." Instead of developing dynamic identities, they crafted and adhered to a cookie-cutter self, one that was rigid and two-dimensional. Silver found that these students were ill-prepared for the challenges of a diverse college campus, and that they had little guidance from their university on how to navigate the trials of social engagement or the pressures to conform. While colleges are focused on increasing the diversity of their enrolled student body, Silver's findings show that they need to take a hard look at how they are failing to support inclusion once students arrive on campus.
Global virtual teams (GVTs), electronically connected workgroups of geographically dispersed team members in multinational settings, may suffer from less social integration. However, they may also ...benefit from an increased ability to process information due to a richer portfolio of ideas and problem-solving approaches that the team’s diversity provides. We propose that the cultural intelligence (CQ) of team members contributes positively to social integration in GVTs and improves performance. Using data from 263 GVTs, we utilized both structural equation modeling and necessary condition analyses to explore the associations between motivational CQ and a team’s social integration and performance. The results identified the must-have (bottlenecks) and should-have (drivers) levels of motivational CQ among team members in GVTs. We contribute to the CQ and GVT literature by linking variation in the team’s CQ levels (team average, lowest, highest, and leader CQ) to its social integration and performance.
In Hydraulic City Nikhil Anand explores the politics of Mumbai's water infrastructure to demonstrate how citizenship emerges through the continuous efforts to control, maintain, and manage the city's ...water. Through extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Mumbai's settlements, Anand found that Mumbai's water flows, not through a static collection of pipes and valves, but through a dynamic infrastructure built on the relations between residents, plumbers, politicians, engineers, and the 3,000 miles of pipe that bind them. In addition to distributing water, the public water network often reinforces social identities and the exclusion of marginalized groups, as only those actively recognized by city agencies receive legitimate water services. This form of recognition—what Anand calls "hydraulic citizenship"—is incremental, intermittent, and reversible. It provides residents an important access point through which they can make demands on the state for other public services such as sanitation and education. Tying the ways Mumbai's poorer residents are seen by the state to their historic, political, and material relations with water pipes, the book highlights the critical role infrastructures play in consolidating civic and social belonging in the city.
Imigrasi telah menjadi bagian dari sejarah manusia, bahkan hingga sebelum masehi.Kondisi imigran saat ini menjadikan banyak negara mengalami dilemma yang sangat besar dalam hal penanganan dan ...pengintegrasian imigran.Hal ini tidak mudah bagi para imigran dikarenakan adanya pro dan kontra oleh masyarakat di negara penerima mengenai kehadiran imigran, yang menyadikan masalah ini semakin rumit.Seperti yang terjadi di Amerika Serikat, Australia, Beberapa negara Eropa dan juga Indonesia. Tetapi pada kenyataan imigran seringkali memberikan kontribusi yang luar biasa dibidang ekonomi, budaya, tetapi disaat yang sama juga imigran sering kali menimbulkan masalah yang besar.
