Identity and Integration in Europe

Meer over het boek

The book introduces a new theoretical framework focusing on personal security in the context of integration, supported by empirical data from 21 European countries. It examines the impacts of migration on both migrants and the receiving society, highlighting that ethnic closure and xenophobia stem from threatened identities, which hinder integration. By employing a quantitative approach, the author argues that embracing individuals' diverse identities fosters trust in others and political institutions, ultimately enhancing confidence in the future of society.
