Managing Integration: The European Union's Responsibilities towards Immigrants
Edited by Rita Süssmuth and Werner Weidenfeld

ISBN: 978-0-9742819-2-6
Paperback, 218 pages

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.
