Immigration has changed the composition of European societies. Cities, but also a growing number of rural areas, are experiencing increased diversity. Over the last few years, the political use of this phenomenon has stimulated the rise of reactionary populism with a clear xenophobic bias. Often the alternative has lied in forsaking the debate on immigration and its impact as if the debate itself implied acceptance of the most reactionary narratives. However, above and beyond simplistic prejudices that lead to irrational polarisation, it is necessary to build expertise and practical knowledge of the different policy models for inclusion and social cohesion in immigration.
This perspective of comparative politics will be the focus of discussion in this meeting between Blanca Garcés, a migration researcher at CIDOB, and Christophe Bertossi, a sociologist.
*Finally, Jan Willem Duyvendak will not be able to attend the talk.
