Synopsis

Migration-related cultural diversity poses a number of highly pressing challenges for liberal democratic societies. This book explores what forms of migrant accommodation and multicultural citizenship we can envisage in the contemporary context of increased migration, where newcomers are often not given a settlement perspective. Through both theoretical contributions and empirically orientated analyses, this book provides insights into how theories and practices of multicultural citizenship and migrant integration are adapting, and might adapt in the future, to the new patterns of international migration and mobility that we are seeing in today's world.

From the Back Cover

What does multicultural governance mean in an increasingly complex migratory world? Migration-related cultural diversity poses a number of highly pressing political and normative challenges for liberal democratic societies. This book explores what forms of migrant accommodation and multicultural citizenship we can envisage in the contemporary context of increased migration flows, where newcomers are often not given a settlement perspective. Through both theoretical contributions and empirically-orientated analyses, this book provides insights into how theories and practices of multicultural citizenship and migrant integration are adapting and might adapt to the new, more dynamic, but also more fluid, patterns of international migration and mobility. Key Features - The book addresses heads-on the challenges that increased and diversified patterns of international migration and mobility pose to theories and practices of multicultural citizenship. - Brings together renowned sociologists of migration and transnationalism with the foremost theorists of multiculturalism and citizenship, and also introduces some of the most promising younger scholars working in these areas. - Covers European, North American and Australian cases and dynamics, going beyond common regional limitations of discussions on international migration or multiculturalism. - Written in an accessible way, addressing a cross-disciplinary readership including law, political science, sociology and political theory. Anna Triandafyllidou holds a Robert Schuman Chair at the Global Governance Programme of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, Florence, Italy, where she directs the Research Area on Cultural Pluralism. She is Visiting Professor at the College of Europe in Bruges and Editor of the Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies.
