International Immigration, Integration and Sustainability in Small Towns and Villages: Socio-Territorial Challenges in Rural and Semi-Rural Europe: Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship

Autor Ricard Morén-Alegret, Dawid Wladyka
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iul 2019
This book brings small places to the main stage in an exploration of the nature of immigration in rural areas and small towns in Europe. Extending recent efforts to study migration at a sub-national scale, the authors focus their analysis on non-metropolitan areas to consider how globalisation and modernisation processes are experienced at a local level. 

Morén-Alegret and Wladyka weave themes of livelihood, social participation, justice and equity into human and planetary sustainability debates, drawing on quantitative population data as well as qualitative information on challenges for rural and small town sustainability in four different European countries (Portugal, France, Spain and England).

Highlighting the interlinked relationship between rural sustainability, migration and ethnic diversity, this research is a valuable resource for policy-makers and academics alike, with far-reaching implications across geography, sociology,political science, anthropology and environmental sciences.

Caracteristici

Presents interdisciplinary insight into how exploring immigrant integration in small places can can help improve wider European integration policies. Identifies the experience of social, economic and environmental organisations, as well as relevant individuals, regarding the arrival of foreign immigration in rural areas and small towns. Provides tools and reflections that can be useful for implementing sustainable integration policies in rural and semi-rural European regions where international immigration has arrived.
