Integration: more than a buzzword

Integration: more than a buzzword The Migration Policy Group, a Brussels-based NGO and independent advisor to the European Union, has published the second edition of its ‘Handbook on Integration for Policy Makers and Practitioners.’

The handbook is the result of in-depth workshops with the National Contact Points on integration, which are a key element in the European Union's Hague Program. The handbook is a mixture of strategic and practical policy advice and “best practice” solutions. Different chapters address both integration infrastructure and practical issues, such as economic integration and housing matters.

The full report can be downloaded here, while the Commission's press release summarizes the findings.
