- Second volume in the CEPREMAP series. CEPREMAP is a leading French network of economists, dedicated to policy research
- Addresses how cultural integration relates to economic integration; how European countries differ in their cultural integration process and which models of integration work; and the implications of the cultural integration process for civic participation and public policies
- Compares the evolution of cultural behaviour and beliefs, and economic outcomes, across first and second generations of immigrants
- Includes analysis of seven European countries and a benchmark comparison with the United States
The concepts of cultural diversity and cultural identity are at the forefront of the political debate in many western societies. In Europe, the discussion is stimulated by the political pressures associated with immigration flows, which are increasing in many European countries. The imperatives that current immigration trends impose on European democracies bring to light a number of issues that need to be addressed. What are the patterns and dynamics of cultural integration? How do they differ across immigrants of different ethnic groups and religious faiths? How do they differ across host societies? What are the
implications and consequences for market outcomes and public policy? Which kind of institutional contexts are more or less likely to accommodate the cultural integration of immigrants? All these questions are crucial for policy makers and await answers.
This book aims to provide a stepping stone to the debate. Taking an economic perspective, this edited collection presents a current, comparative picture of the process of cultural integration of immigrants across Europe. It documents the main economic debates on the causes and consequences of cultural integration of immigrants, and provides detailed descriptions of the cultural and economic integration process in seven main European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the
United Kingdom. It also compares the European context with the integration of immigrants in the United States.
Readership: Academics, researchers, and graduate students interested in economics, immigration, sociology, public policy, political science, and human geography. Policy-makers in the UK, US, and Europe.
