Who feels integrated?An interdisciplinary analysis of patterns of identification and participation of three immigrant groups in Flanders.

By means of a descriptive and analytical social scientific research as well as by means of a normative political-philosophical research, this interdisciplinary research project contributes to the knowledge of strategies and patterns of integration of the members of three minority groups (Turkish, Polish and Senegalese people) in Flanders. The core questions of this project are to which extend 1) integration is (paradoxically) linked to the recognition of differences; 2) strategies and patterns of integration are being influenced by specific features of demarcation (religion, ethnic and racial features, immigration history).

Keywords:IMMIGRATION, INTEGRATION STRATEGIES, RECOGNITION OF DIFFERENCE
