About this book
This book provides a critical analysis of mainstreaming as one of the major contemporary trends in immigrant integration governance in Europe. Bringing together unique empirical material and theoretical insights on mainstreaming, it examines how, why and to what effect immigrant integration is mainstreamed. In the context of the rise and fall of multiculturalism across various European countries, this book explores how these countries are rethinking the governance of their increasingly diverse societies. It highlights the trends of a broad approach to immigrant integration priorities, ‘mainstreamed’ into generic policy domains which are now visible throughout Europe. With contributions not only on migration studies, but also policy studies and gender mainstreaming, this edited volume will appeal to scholars across these fields, as well as policymakers and practitioners.

Reviews
“An invaluable and very timely state-of-the-art overview by leading experts of key developments in European integration policies and politics.” (Andrew Geddes, Chair in Migration Studies and Director of Migration Policy Centre at European University Institute, Italy)
“Mainstreaming Integration Governance casts an intelligent eye on how national integration policy frameworks across Europe have sought pragmatic adaptations in multi-levelled local contexts, particularly in cities with declining proportions of white residents. It provides a well-documented, critical overview of how philosophies of integration continue to change in the face of the challenge of diversity, new migration, and neo-nationalist reaction—in politics as much as in comparative scholarship.”(Adrian Favell, University of Leeds, UK, and author of Philosophies of Integration)
“When the way that migrants affect European societies is politically contested, we need to critically assess policies intended to "integrate" them and their capacity to travel across Europe. This comparative volume does just that with thought-provoking chapters by an impressive line of scholars.” (Virginie Guiraudon, Research Director, National Center for Scientific Research, Center for European Studies of Sciences-Po, France)
