Immigrant integration in Federations
Activities A workshop of the project collaborators was held in Berlin on February 22, 2010. Three additional events involving a number of those involved in the project were co-sponsored with local partners: a conference on “Immigrant Integration in Switzerland” in Bern on February 24 and 25, 2010 (with the Federal Office for Migration); a workshop on “Immigration Policies in Spain” in Barcelona on March 26, 2010 (with Institut d'Estudis Autonòmics); and a conference in Brussels on November 29 and 30, 2010. A past event, a conference on “Immigrant Integration and Canadian Federalism: Exploring the Issues,” was held in Toronto on January 28, 2011. The project has led to the preparation of a comparative volume, Immigrant Integration in Federal Countries,edited by Christian Joppke and Leslie Seidle. It is slated for publication by McGill-Queen's University Press in mid-2012.

This project is a comparative study of policies and programs for immigrant integration viewed from the perspective of federalism. It will examine the variations in immigrant integration policies and in the pattern of responsibility among the different orders of government within seven federations. It will also explore the degree to which policies and responsibilities have changed as the issue of immigrant integration has risen on the public agenda during the past decade.
