This book approaches the issue of immigrant integration as a democratic justice problem. Based
on Honneth's recognition theory it introduces the concept of 'Just Integration' which
challenges the capacity of the actual recognition order of the host society to include its
immigrants as full members. The study criticizes the current political obsession to restore the
social cohesion of the host society in the face of immigration. It argues that this perception
inhibits host societies from recognizing their immigrants as individuals who have authentic
skills qualifications and identities in addition to their ethnic cultural and religious
attachments. The author applies the concept of 'Just Integration' to the real pathologies that
immigrants refugees suffer in Canada and Turkey providing guidelines for progress towards
better integration of immigrants within host societies and institutions.
