A rights-based, as­so­ci­ation­al ap­proach to mi­grant in­teg­ra­tion

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Sarah Ganty and Clíodhna Murphy chal­lenge the model of mi­grant in­teg­ra­tion built around duties and con­straints in the European Union and the United King­dom, pro­pos­ing in­stead an ap­proach based on in­teg­ra­tion through rights. Their frame­work places mi­grants' as­so­ci­ation­al prac­tices at the centre of their par­ti­cip­a­tion in the social, civic and polit­ic­al fabric of their so­ci­et­ies.
