            Abstract
            This book prompts a fresh look on immigrant integration policy. Revealing just where immigrants and their receiving societies interact everyday, it shows how societal inclusion is administered and produced at a local level. The studies presented focus on three issue areas of migration policy - citizenship, welfare services and religious diversity - and consider cities in very different national contexts. Spanning Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, the cases display great variety in their theoretical and methodological approaches. In all the countries considered, we see that the local level has an undeniable relevance despite differences in state structures, models of integration and centre-peripheral relations. Particularly for future migration policy research, such a complex comparative exercise thus yields an important universal realisation: the local dimension of migration policymaking matters.
             
            The Local Dimension of Migration Policymaking biedt nieuwe perspectieven op het integratiebeleid van immigranten in Europese en Noord Amerikaanse steden. Het laat zien hoe maatschappelijke aansluiting op lokaal niveau ontstaat en beheerd wordt. De afzonderlijke hoofdstukken richten zich op drie thema's; burgerschap, sociale diensten en religieuze diversiteit. Daarmee worden stedelijke gebieden in Zwitserland, Italië, Duitsland, Nederland en Canada bestudeerd. In alle onderzochte landen blijkt dat, ondanks de verschillen in onder meer staatsstructuur en integratiemodellen, het lokale niveau een zeer belangrijke bijdrage levert aan het integratiebeleid. De casestudies laten zien dat nationaal beleid door locale actoren opnieuw gedefinieerd wordt en dat de werkelijke omstandigheden op lokaal niveau het integratieproces van immigranten bepalen. Deze vergelijkende studie levert belangrijke en spraakmakende inzichten in het huidige integratiebeleid waar beleidsmakers niet omheen kunnen.
