The issues of migration and integration have dynamically evolved in recent years to become stand-alone policy areas. Politics and business, the public and the media are in agreement that these are key issues for the future. The issues of migration and integration are not only on everyone?s lips, but are increasingly becoming a practicalpolicy area at all levels of administration, where tens of thousands of people are dealing with these issues, both professionally and voluntarily. The publishers of this book have compiled a handy compendium, which offers reliable information on over 60 key terms from the policy area of migration and integration in the form of short, factual articles from well-known authors from all over Germany.
