This book provides a critical analysis of mainstreaming as one of the major contemporary trends
in immigrant integration governance in Europe. Bringing together unique empirical material and
theoretical insights on mainstreaming it examines how why and to what effect immigrant
integration is mainstreamed. In the context of the rise and fall of multiculturalism across
various European countries this book explores how these countries are rethinking the
governance of their increasingly diverse societies. It highlights the trends of a broad
approach to immigrant integration priorities 'mainstreamed' into generic policy domains which
are now visible throughout Europe. With contributions not only on migration studies but also
policy studies and gender mainstreaming this edited volume will appeal to scholars across
these fields as well as policymakers and practitioners.
